Man killed in sleep as demolition team storms the house

POLICE in northern Shanxi Province have detained five men who allegedly beat a villager to death and seriously injured another on Saturday night after breaking into their house to carry out demolition.

Nearly 10 people armed with spades, sticks and pickaxes smashed the windows and stormed into the house where the two victims, Meng Fugui and Wu Wenyuan, were sleeping in Guzhai Village near Taiyuan, the provincial capital.

Without a word, the five men started beating the two villagers until they passed out, Beijing News reported today.

After dumping them on a road away from the village, the group tore down their house by excavators.

Meng died on the spot and Wu, the house owner, is still being treated in hospital.
Wu said he and his neighbor Meng had been harassed by the team from a local demolition company because they could not agree on the sum of compensation. Wu asked Meng to stay with him for protection.
