By Andy Dolan PUBLISHED: 08:35 EST, 27 March 2012 | UPDATED: 03:34 EST, 28 March 2012 Craig Shaw (pictured) admitted aggravated burglary in December and was jailed for eight-and-a-half years. A terrified father who killed a burglar by hitting him in the head with a meat cleaver was justified in his actions, a coroner ruled yesterday. Xiaopeng Wang had been bludgeoned with a wheel brace and his wife punched in the face as she cradled their two-year-old daughter after Steven Shaw and his brother Craig raided their home on a notorious estate in the middle of the night.
