Death penalty a deterrent

THE APPEAL COURT has upheld the decision against Lin Senhao from Fudan University, who received the death sentence last year for murdering his roommate with poison in April 2013. Comments:
The court has already issued its final verdict on the case, which has aroused social concern for almost two years. However, our thinking about it should continue. It is a violation of the social bottom line that someone could kill his roommate just out of envy. A process of rebuilding our common values must start, so that such extreme events will not be repeated.
