Rights to protect home demanded

Justice has finally been done in the case of Zhang Jian, a resident of Benxi, Liaoning province, who killed a man while trying to prevent his house from being demolished by a realty developer.

In May last year, the developer, aiming to raze Zhang's home, allegedly sent a few thugs to break into his home and force his family to leave. Even though he was badly hurt, Zhang stabbed one intruder to death and fled.
