NAIROBI: A Kenyan woman who was sentenced to hang in China for drug trafficking may get a fixed term or have her sentence reduced to life imprisonment if she is of good conduct.

A local lawyer representing Floviance Owino and her family said the two scenarios were possible under the Chinese law but only if she is deemed as having conducted herself well by the authorities.
