Bailiffs blamed after suspect's window leap

A court in Nantong, Jiangsu province, has suspended bailiffs for failing to guard a handcuffed drug trafficking suspect who escaped during a hearing.

The 33-year-old suspect, Ma Tingjiang, escaped the court building by jumping out a second-floor window on June 26. Police have offered a 50,000 yuan ($7,550) reward for information leading to his capture.

The court, in the city's economic and technological development district, said the bailiffs were suspended on Wednesday and are under investigation.
