The Chinese fishing captain who stabbed a South Korean coast guard to death and wounded another last December was sentenced to 30 years behind bars by a South Korean court this morning. Cheng Dawei was also fined 20 million Korean won (US$17,560) by Incheon District Court, People's Daily reported today.

Cheng attacked coast guards after they stopped his boat "Luwenyu" for illegally fishing in crab-rich South Korean waters on December 12. The captain stabbed them with broken glass pieces. One officer was taken by helicopter to hospital but later died. Another was injured in the fight, the court said.

Prosecutors suggested death sentence for Cheng as "he committed the murder after careful planning and didn't compensate the victim's family," the report said.

据《人民日报》报道，去年12月刺死、刺伤韩国海警的中国渔船船长程大伟今天上午被韩国仁川地方法院判处30年有期徒刑，并处罚款2000万韩元（17560美元）。

2011年12月12日，韩国海警以“非法捕捞”为由将在盛产螃蟹的韩国水域作业的中国渔船“鲁文渔”号拦停，船长程大伟随即以玻璃碎片向他们发起攻击，导致一名海警在冲突中受伤，另一名海警被直升机紧急送往医院治疗，但最终死亡。

报道称，韩国检方认为“程大伟杀人是有缜密计划的，而且未向受害人遗属作出任何补偿”，应该被判处死刑。
