The Fudan University student who is accused of poisoning his roommate last year has stood second trial in Shanghai.

The suspect, Lin Senhao, was accused of dropping a deadly chemical into a water dispenser which caused the death of his roommate Huang Yang.

The first trial in February charged Lin with intentional homicide.

He was sentenced to death.

During the second trial, Lin claimed that he did not have a motive for intentional homicide.

He said he only wanted to play a trick on his roommate.

"When we played games, Huang said the April Fools' Day was coming. He wanted to prank someone. Then I had the thought that I wanted to prank Huang."

Huang Yang's parents have said they hope the second trial will uphold the death sentence.

No verdict has been returned yet.
