Three teenagers have confessed to killing a female shop owner because they couldn’t pay $0.50 for an order of french fries, according to multiple mainland Chinese news sources.

Hu, 48, was allegedly suffocated to death by three teenagers on March 27 at her small restaurant in Sichuan Province, China. Her body was found by her husband and the police the following day.
