Possible trial for vigilante killers

Prosecutors are trying to charge three men, who allegedly beat a thief to death, with the crime of intentional injury in Daxing district.

A judge with the Beijing No 1 Intermediate People's Court told METRO on Wednesday the case is under pre-trial examination and no date for the trial has been decided.

Zhao Jianwei, from Henan province, rented land to store construction materials such as drilling rigs and cables in Huangcun town, in Daxing, and lived in a container on the plot, the Beijing Times reported on Wednesday.
