Cheng and other people

Cheng was a Chinese whose false reports that people were raping him led to the death of five people and injuries to ten others in Wuyiling District, China, on March 5, 1987. He was arrested and executed on December 14, 1988 by firing squad.

Background
During January to March 1987, Cheng had severe land disputes with his neighbours, and they constantly waked up him when he was sleeping and some times threw rocks at his windows. Cheng called the police four times, but they didn't show up, because they said that the feud was not important for them.

On February 6 Cheng had an scuffle and was punched by the family of Li Chu, because he threw a rock into his window and hitted him when he was sleeping.

On April 2, Cheng began to save money, when his neighbours learned that he began to save money, they intruded his home, beat him with a wooden bar, keep him tied with electrical wires on the bathroom, and escaped. He eventually cut off the wires and told the police, on the police station, the neighbours told that he robbed the money from a nearby family, the mentioned family were on the station and confirmed the rumor. After that, Cheng was sentenced to ten days in prison.

Lynching
On March 2, Cheng began gathering people in Hongxing district, where he told those people that he was being constantly raped by his neighbours, and that he was one time raped anally by a watchman.

On March 5, Cheng, with a crowd of 452 people, he arrived to the Wuyiling District, the other people, furious about the neighbours, began rioting in the city, intruding several homes, beating people to death, setting fire to other houses and during the riot they threw a big rock into the head of a baby. Three people were lynched to death, and they raped and injured five others as a retaliation for Cheng's rapings.

After the mob broke into a police station, they robbed the guns there and arrived to a school nearby, where Cheng told them to shoot the children, because he told them reportedly killed his child because of a dispute with a lunch bag. On the school shootings, two students were shot to death, four students suffered gunshot wounds, and a teacher was anally raped and injured by the people.

The military arrived to the city and began shooting the people rioting, injuring four. They escaped, along with Cheng, but he was found hiding at a mountain nearby.

Aftermath
Cheng was found hiding on a mountain on March 29. He admitted to inciting the people to lynch and shoot others because he was "tired of being snapped."

On December 14, 1988, Cheng was executed by firing squad.
