Wang Qiang (simplified Chinese: 王强; traditional Chinese: 王強; pinyin: Wáng Qiáng; 16 January 1975 – 17 November 2005) was a Chinese serial killer from Budayuan Town, Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning, China[1] and one of the most notorious murderers and rapists in Chinese history.

Early life

Wang was born in 1975 and grew up in the small village of Kaiyuan, Liaoning. His father was physically and mentally abusive, addicted to drinking and gambling, and denied Wang the chance to enter school. Due to the abuse, he eventually left home and lived on the streets.[2]

In 1990, at age 15, Wang was surrounded and beaten to near-death by a group of fellow beggars at the Shenyang Railway Station Square. Days after he was released from the police station, he was taken in by an older man who gave him a meal and told him he would never get by from begging, and "only by stealing would he get ahead." Wang began pickpocketing, with most of the stolen money going to the man who housed him. In June 1991, Wang stole a wallet and was sent to a labor camp for two years.[2]

Murders

Official records show Wang was convicted of 45 murders and 10 rapes. Wang committed his first confirmed murder on 22 January 1995. He was often accompanied by other violent criminals during his murders and rapes. Some young girls were raped post-mortem. He claimed to have murdered prior to 1995, but this was not verified.[3]

Arrest, trial and execution

Wang was implicated by his accomplices who were imprisoned and was arrested on 14 July 2003. His interrogation lasted a year and a half, with Wang gradually confessing. Wang was sentenced to death for the murders and executed in November 2005.[3]
