Stay-at-home mother Liu Ping drowned her son Hao Hao in a bathtub in their home in Liuyang, Hunan province, in April last year before turning herself in to police, the Harbin-based Modern Evening Times reported on Friday. At her trial last year, Liu told the court that she thought her son had cerebral palsy so she killed him to spare him a life of hardship, according to the report. Liu said the child also squinted and was easily scared, convincing her that he had cerebral palsy. Liu’s husband, Wang Jianze, did not believe Hao Hao had cerebral palsy but was unable to convince his wife of his opinion, the report said. Believing the child would never be well, Liu drowned Hao Hao before phoning Wang to tell him what she had done.
