Officers jailed over woman's death

Three police officers were sentenced to prison on Thursday for causing the death of a woman after a dispute on a construction site in Taiyuan, Shanxi province.

The Taiyuan Intermediate People's Court sentenced Wang Wenjun to five years in prison for intentional injury and abuse of power; Guo Tiewei to 26 months in prison with a reprieve of three years for abuse of power; and Ren Haibo to 23 months in prison for intentional injury with a reprieve of two years.

According to the court, on Dec 13, 2014, four construction workers clashed with guards at the construction site where they worked after they were refused entry without ID and safety helmets.
