Chinese murder trial ends after one day
The murder trial of the wife of a prominent Chinese politician, who is accused of killing a British businessman, has ended after one day.
Gu Kailai did not contest the murder charge and a verdict will be announced at a later date.
She had been accused of poisoning her business partner Neil Heywood last November in a dispute about money.
His death triggered a political scandal, which saw Gu Kailai's husband, Bo Xilai, removed as the Communist Party chief in Chongching.
