He was sentenced to 22 years imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>His co-accused, Pi Biao, was sentenced to 15 years as an accomplice, and for the illegal possession of a pistol. However, neither man was in court to hear the sentence. They both fled after the murder, and were tried in absentia.<\/p>\n<p>The crime took place on the premises of the Qiu Zhing Biu sawmill in Chamba, on the outskirts of Beira. Chen and Pi were arrived at the sawmill in a Toyota vehicle driven by Yun Feng Li, who was also accused of complicity in the crime. But the court found the evidence against him insufficient and he was acquitted.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike his fellow accused, Yun did not escape, and was thus the only one of the three in court during the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Chen and Pi are workers at a different Chinese concern, the Chen Chen iron foundry. The motives for their lethal attack on Zhong Jun are unclear.<\/p>\n<p>The court also ordered the two to pay compensation of 235,000 meticais (about 7,830 US dollars) to Zhong&#8217;s family and Ren Fei, a Chinese woman whom they injured during the attack.<\/p>\n<p>But nothing can be paid until the two men are located. The court has ordered their capture, but by now they could well have left the country.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105230487.html\" title=\"Chinese Sentenced for Murder\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chinese Sentenced for Murder<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 19 May 2011 Maputo \u2014 A court in central Mozambique has sentenced two Chinese citizens to lengthy prison terms, arising from a murder committed in 2009, reports the Beira daily paper &#8220;Diario de Mocambique&#8221;.
