A 53-year-old local man was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for killing his mother in a dispute over relocation compensation, a local court said Thursday.

The defendant, whom the court called Liu Xinyi, broke into his mother's apartment around midnight on February 16 and bludgeoned the nearly 80-year-old woman to death with a hammer as she slept, according to a press release from the Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court.

Liu had been angry with his mother, whom the court called Shen, after she took him and his wife to court to obtain a portion of the three homes and cash that Liu had received as resettlement compensation for their home in Zhabei district.

It remains unclear whether Liu owned the house exclusively or his mother was a co-owner.
