BEIJING - Two men have been put to death in China for plundering tombs belonging to a national museum, a news report said on Saturday.

Huang Xiaojun and Li Meisheng were executed on Friday after taking part in the ransacking of three tombs on land belonging to Guo museum in central Henan province, according to the People's Court Daily.

Huang and Li had sold artefacts to a man named Hou Jinhai, who is still on the run, for 610,000 yuan (73,000 dollars).

Also on Friday, two men were put to death for killing seven people in an armed raid on a public bath, according to the Beijing Legal Times.

China is by far the world's biggest executer. London-based rights group Amnesty International estimates China carried out at least 1,060 executions last year, while the international anti-death penalty group Hands Off Cain puts the total at more than 3,000.
