AN official in east China Anhui Province was jailed for 11 years for taking bribes and abusing his power to help a forced demolition that led to the house owner's suicide.
Cao Yingzhang, vice head of Yingchuan District in Fuyang City, received the sentence from a county court on Monday.
The court also confiscated 100,000 yuan (US$14,651) he received in bribes from property developers, Beijing Times reported today.
House owner Chen Shaokun drank a bottle of pesticide in November 2008 after a demolition crew beat up his son's wife, broke her nose, and tore down his house without his consent. Since then, he has been in a vegetative state.
Fuyang city government started the eviction plan in May 2008 to widen the street. Chen refused to move because he did not agree with the compensation plan.
Cao was found guilty of receiving 100,000 yuan from the developers' company. In return, he ordered the demolition crew to force Chen out of his home in September 2008, despite having no authority to do so.
Cao led the demolition crew when they burst into Chen's house and threw all his furniture out, the report said.
