Two more police officers arrested for beating migrant worker to death
Two more police officers have been arrested in connection with the highly-publicized death of a migrant worker earlier this month in Shanxi.
The special prosecutors tasked with investigating the case have arrested the two additional officers for abuse of power.
Another police officer, seen in video standing on the hair of the 47-year old migrant worker, was arrested earlier this week for allegedly causing her "unnatural death."
The victim was among a group of 10 migrant workers trying to access their construction site in Shanxi's provincial capital, Taiyuan, to demand their back pay.
They were stopped by security.
A massive fight then broke out involving police and the workers, leading to the woman's death, as well as injuries to a number of others.
The case has garnered national attention amid public concern about the abuse of power by police in dealing with disputes.

Death toll by tropical storm Jangmi rises to 53 in Philippines
The death toll from tropical storm Jangmi in the Philippines has climbed to 53.
Eight others are listed as missing.
The storm rolled through the main portion of the central Philippines on Tuesday, but has since paused, bringing heavy storm surges and gusts to Philippine-controlled islands to the west of the archipelago's main islands.
Jangmi has since been downgraded to a tropical depression.
However, it's still packing winds of 65-kilometers per hour.
The storm has forced the cancellation of a number of flights, as well as cutting off several roads, despite it dying out over the southern part of the South China Sea.
