BEIJING — China executed a man on Tuesday who kept six women in a dungeon as sex slaves for periods of up to 21 months, during which he coerced three of them to kill two of their fellow captives, a court official said.

Li Hao, 36, had dug a dungeon underneath a Luoyang city basement he bought in August 2009 and tricked women into going there with him, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

Li repeatedly raped the women, who were held there between two and 21 months, it said. His dungeon was finally discovered after one of the women escaped and went to police.

Li forced the women to appear in obscene webcasts from March to April 2011 and to have sex with “customers” from late August to early September of that year, Xinhua said.

The two women who died were killed by three of the others on Li’s instructions and were also found guilty of murder, Xinhua reported, which said they were shown leniency. Li was arrested in September 2011.
