Some police have been detained for not following orders properly after shooting protesters to death in China’s southern Guangdong province in December, the provincial governor said on Tuesday.

At least three people died and eight were wounded in Guangdong’s Dongzhou village when police shot villagers protesting against a lack of compensation for land lost to a wind power plant, the government said.
