HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong court sentenced a
man to six years in jail after he accidentally killed
his girlfriend in a sex game of strangulation that
turned horribly wrong, a court official said
Wednesday.

Yu Ping, 22, grabbed his lover's throat for about a
minute after sex last February. He only discovered
something was wrong when his lover did not regain
consciousness. Asphyxiation is widely believed to
produce hallucinations that raise sexual pleasure.

"Regardless that the activity was consensual, it must
have been plain to him that what he was doing would
place the deceased in considerable harm or even cause
death," deputy High Court Judge Michael McMahon was
quoted by newspapers on Wednesday as saying in his ruling.

Interesting sentence the court handed down.


I wonder if the judge rolled double 3's.
