BRITAIN'S embassy in China yesterday welcomed the verdict on Bogu Kailai after news that she had been convicted but spared execution for murdering a British businessman.
The sentencing decision means that Gu will likely serve life in prison.
The embassy said it welcomed the "fact that the Chinese authorities have investigated the death of Neil Heywood, and tried those they identified as responsible."
In an emailed statement, an embassy spokesman also said that Britain had "consistently made clear to the Chinese authorities that we wanted to see the trials in this case conform to international human rights standards and for the death penalty not to be applied."
