KUNMING: Three kidnappers were sentenced to life in prison and 15 others were handed down varying sentences Tuesday in southwest China's Yunnan province for abducting and trafficking in women and children.

Geng Zhucun was accused of abducting Xiaobing, the three-year-old son of a mentally handicapped woman, and selling him to Lu Zhaoyuan for 12,000 yuan (US$1,757) in May 2008. Lu then sold Xiaobing to Wang Qiongfen for 17,000 yuan, who later sold the boy to a family in the eastern Shandong Province for 40,000 yuan.
