Police pay family of victim who died after delay

A branch of the public security bureau in Tianshui, Gansu province, has paid 200,000 yuan ($32,220) in compensation to family members of a man who died because of the local police's delayed response to a violent robbery.

The case was revealed by the Supreme People's Court on Friday.

Tianshui resident Liu Weizhou was stabbed and suffered massive blood loss after he was attacked by three men - Su Futang, Wu Liqiang and Tong Bin - while walking on a street at about 3 am on March 3, 2006.
