Bai Baoshan

Bai Baoshan (; 6 November 1958 – April 1998) was a Chinese serial killer convicted of murdering 15 men, including police officers, security guards, and male civilians.

Biography Bai Baoshan committed his first murder in the 1980s during a holdup. He served 13 years in prison for murder and robbery and emerged with a desire for revenge against society. In 1996, Bai attacked a police sentry in Beijing and stole a semiautomatic firearm, which he used to kill one person and injure six others. In Hebei, he killed another police officer and stole his weapon before traveling to Ürümqi where he and two accomplices murdered ten people and stole 1.5 million yuan. He then murdered one of his accomplices so that he would not have to share the loot.

Bai was returned to Beijing and was arrested on October 16, 1997. He was charged with 14 counts of homicide and multiple other related felonies. He confessed to the crime and was put on trial in the Xinjiang region because that was where he killed most of his victims. He was convicted on all counts and executed on May 6, 1998.
