A Tokyo court sentenced Chen Shifeng, the murderer of a Chinese student killed in Japan last year, to 20 years in prison on Wednesday.
Jiang Ge, a 24-year-old graduate student from eastern China’s Shandong Province, was stabbed to death on the doorstep of her apartment on November 3, 2016. She was studying for her master’s degree at Hosei University.
Chen, the 26-year-old murderer, was the ex-boyfriend of Jiang’s roommate Liu Xin. Jiang was allegedly killed defending Liu.
In November, Jiang’s mother had been collecting signatures in support of the death penalty for Chen.
The Tokyo court began the case hearing on December 11.
