Xi'an: Chinese authorities have reportedly executed a college student who ran into a young mother with his car and then stabbed her to death to avoid paying compensation.
The case sparked a public outcry.
He was sentenced to death on 22 April for the murder of 26-year-old Zhang Miao last October.
The 21-year-old student was driving his car when he ran into Zhang, who was on a bicycle.
Fearing that Zhang would remember his car plate number and track him down for compensation, Yao stabbed her to death.
"I was afraid the woman would come after me, so before I thought about it, I brought out my knife and stabbed her," he told judges.
Yao was a student at the Xi'an Conservatory of Music.
