| Chinese rail official gets death sentence in corruption case | |  A Beijing court on Wednesday sentenced a former railway official to death for corruption, but promised a reprieve after two years of good behaviour, state media reported, in the latest graft case to hit China's sprawling rail network.

His death sentence will be commuted after two years, Xinhua added, which generally means that after two years of good behaviour he will end up with a life sentence.
