Japan on Thursday executed a 40-year-old Chinese man convicted of murdering a family of four, in the country’s first execution of a foreigner since the disclosure of details on sentences carried out began in 2007.

The man, Wei Wei, had committed the murders in mid-2003 with two accomplices who were also Chinese nationals, media reported.

Japan is one of just two Group of Seven advanced nations to retain the death penalty, along with the United States, and an overwhelming majority of the public favours it.
