Two cult members convicted of murdering a woman at a McDonald's restaurant in Shandong province were executed by Chinese authorities today.
The members of the Church of Almighty God were caught on closed circuit video footage last May, beating the 37-year-old woman to death and then being apprehended by police.
During their trial in August, Zhang Lidong and his daughter Zhang Fan testified that the woman had been an evil spirit.
According to local media, the group believes that Jesus was resurrected as the wife of the sect's founder.
China's communist party cracked down on this group and other cults which have multiplied in recent years.
