A Chinese court has sentenced five cult members for beating a woman to death at a McDonald’s restaurant in Shandong province last May.

Two members were given death sentences, one was given a life sentence, and two were given 10 and seven-year jail terms.

The victim was allegedly killed after she refused to give her phone number to the members, who tried to recruit her.

The Church of the Almighty God cult is banned in China.

However, it claims to have millions of members.
