Woman gets life for killing husband

A Chinese woman was sentenced to life in prison for killing her British husband, and ordered to pay 150,000 yuan ($22,600) in compensation to his family, Shanghai No 1 Intermediate People's Court ruled on Monday.

Another case, which involves the custody of their children, is pending.

Michael Simpson, 34, an operations manager for British retailer Next in Shanghai, was fatally wounded in a scuffle with his estranged wife Fu Weiwei last year.
