Man convicted in 1997 Ohio campus assaults

XENIA, Ohio (AP) — A man faces up to 20 years in prison on his conviction in the 1997 stabbing of his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend at Ohio’s Wright State University.

Jurors on Thursday convicted 39-year-old Chi Quang Du of attempted aggravated murder for stabbing Eric Borton after Borton and Thuy Mai left the school’s library in southwest Ohio. Du had already pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated murder for slitting Mai’s throat and stabbing her.

Both victims testified about attacks that left permanent scars.

Du’s attorney says he had no intention of killing Borton. He says he will appeal.

Du will be sentenced March 26.

He was captured in Toronto in 2008 after a tip triggered by the TV show “America’s Most Wanted.” A judge had set his bond at $55 million.
