Zhang Xinyuan, 54, stood trial for throwing two homemade explosives into his ex-partner's home at Huairou district court Thursday, the Legal Mirror reported.
Security guard Zhang moved in with his ex, surnamed Liu, in 2010. Zhang was unhappy when Liu only paid him 10,000 yuan ($1,607) after her house was demolished in 2011. Zhang threw the explosives into her house on August 18, 2012, injuring three people. Liu said she did not want Zhang to be jailed.
