Xu Yao attends the sentencing hearing.
A Chinese lawyer who fatally poisoned the billionaire gaming tycoon who helped produce the Netflix sci-fi hit 3 Body Problem has been executed, according to Chinese state media.
Xu Yao killed his boss Lin Qi in 2020 by gifting him what he said were probiotic pills, but in fact contained lethal toxins which he bought off the dark web and mixed in his own lab.
