NANNING
- Nineteen members of a mafia-style gang stood trial on Tuesday on multiple
charges at a court in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
Li
Zhenfeng, the head of the gang, received the death penalty with two years'
reprieve for intentional homicide, illegal trade in guns and ammunition and
operating gambling houses, at Wuzhou Intermediate People's Court on Tuesday.
In
February 2013, the gang, led by Li, plotted revenge on another gang in Tengxian
County over conflict of interest. They shot dead one person and injured another
two.
The
court also ruled Li Zhenfeng and other gang members had bought guns and bullets
twice between January and February 2013, and ran gambling houses for a long
period of time.
Another
18 gang members have been given suspended death penalties or prison sentences.
