2nd trial for couple who killed two kids begins

The highly anticipated second trial for a man and his girlfriend who were responsible for the deaths of his two children began on Thursday at Chongqing High People's Court.

Dozens of residents and reporters gathered in front of the court gate, hoping to get a glimpse of the trial proceedings.

Zhang Bo, who killed his two children, a boy and a girl, by throwing them out of an apartment window in Chongqing, and his girlfriend Ye Chengchen, who prompted him to do it, both received the death penalty by the Fifth Intermediate People's Court of Chongqing after their first trial in 2021.
