A woman has been sentenced to death for killing her lover with a kiss!  Xia Xinfeng and her childhood sweetheart, Mao Ansheng, swore an oath  that if either was unfaithful, they would have to die. Xia took action  after she saw her man talking to a woman in a way that made her  suspicious, a court in Henan province, central China, was told.  They had arranged to meet the next day at a public bath-house. She  filled a plastic pellet with rat poison,  hid it under her tongue, and  while they were kissing,  nudged it into his mouth. Mao failed to notice it, swallowed it and died shortly afterwards.  Rat poison is one of the common methods of murder and suicide in China,  so much so that one variety, "dushuqiang" was banned three years ago. In  one case, a widow used it to kill 10 guests,  with whom she had been engaged in a feud, at her husband's funeral  banquet.  Despite the crackdown, however, besides Xin Xinfeng, a couple from  Yunnan province, Chen Lihua and Huang Jianxiao, were also sentenced to  death this week, suspended for two years, for lacing their respective  spouses' dinners with rat poison.
