China court hands down death sentence for school bus knife attacker NHK

The Japanese Foreign Ministry says a Chinese court has handed down a death sentence for a man charged over a knife attack on a bus carrying Japanese schoolchildren.

In June last year, a man in his 50s attacked the school bus in the city of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. A Chinese female bus attendant was killed, and a Japanese woman and her child were injured. The ministry says the man had been charged with murder.

The incident triggered anxieties about safety in Japanese communities across China, prompting Japanese schools to boost their security measures.
