On October 5, a wealthy Chinese man was sentences to 10 years and six months in prison for killing his wife’s cousin and sawing his body to pieces.

Judge Terence Schultes of the Supreme Court of British Columbia sentenced Zhao Li to 10 years and six months in prison for shooting Yuan Gang, a Chinese tycoon, and dismembering his body. The court acquitted Zhao of second-degree murder earlier this January, but convicted him of manslaughter.
