A Chinese local government clerk has been executed for keeping six women as sex slaves and killing two of them, Xinhua reported.

The 35-year-old killer, Li Hao, had been convicted of murder, rape, illegal detention, organized prostitution and making pornography for profit.

According to China Central Television, Li enticed the women who had worked at nightclubs and karaoke bars to his dungeon by offering to pay them for sex.

Li forced the women to work as prostitutes, raped them repeatedly, and made them perform in pornographic web shows. He even made them kill two women who had been stuck in the dungeon with them.

In 2011, one of the women who had been kept for three months escaped from Li while being taken out to work as a prostitute. She led police to the basement.

Li was identified as a clerk for Luoyang's technology supervision bureau who was also a father of an eight-month-old son when he was arrested, Xinhua reported.
