Eighteen suspects involved in a fighting in Zhengzhou, capital of central
China's Henan Province, have been detained, said the local government Monday.
The unrest began on Oct. 27 and is now under control, said the information

Lu and several Nanren villagers rushed to Liu's home after the fight on

villager was beaten to death on the spot and two died in the hospital one day
later.
The unrest continued until Sunday, the source said.
