A Chinese man who carried out a knife attack in eastern China last June that wounded a Japanese woman and her child and killed a bus attendant trying to protect them has been sentenced to death, according to a Japanese official.

Two men have been sentenced to death for separate deadly stabbings in China. One man killed a 10-year-old child outside a school, while another man died after shielding a mother and child from attack on a bus.

A Chinese man Thursday was sentenced to death for killing a man in a knife attack near Shanghai last summer. A Japanese mother and her child were also injured on a Japanese school bus in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.
