Lü Debin (Chinese: 吕德彬; May 1953 – 18 October 2005) was a Chinese politician and academic, who served as vice governor of Henan Province. In 2005, he was executed for murdering his wife.[1] State-controlled media in China reported his wife had threatened to expose him for corruption if he divorced her.[2] At the time, it was reported that Lü was the highest-ranking official charged with homicide since the establishment of the People's Republic of China.[3]
Born to a poor family in Yinu Village, Dama Township, Yanling County, Henan Province, Lü became a village cadre as a teenager and was admitted to the Henan Agricultural College (now Henan Agricultural University) as a Worker-Peasant-Soldier student. He later attended Kansas State University, where he received master's and doctoral degrees.
Debin was executed by lethal injection on October 18, 2005.[4]
