A pub singer in Changsha, Hunan Province, who sexually abused six men to death in 2009, was recently executed on the charge of intentional homicide by a local court.

Zhou Youping, 42, was accused of causing the death of six men from asphyxiation during sex play, reported local newspaper Xiaoxiang Morning Herald Tuesday.

Police detained Zhou on suspicion of robbery in November 2009. Zhou confessed during the investigation that he had played the game with six strong men from northern China in different hotels from October to November in 2009.

The naked bodies of the six men were all discovered by local police during the same period.

In September 2009, Zhou published posts on a website for gay men offering a large reward for male SM partners aged from 23 to 40 from northern China who would take part in his game.

Zhou said that he knew how dangerous the game was, and that he never played it himself, but enjoyed seeing others play it.

He also argued in court that he did not murder the victims, as they voluntarily hung themselves as part of sex play.

The Changsha Intermediate People's Court convicted Zhou of intentional homicide in March 2011.

The court executed Zhou on August 29 after receiving approval from the Supreme People's Court, Zhou's lawyer Huang Yongjun confirmed to the Global Times Tuesday.
