A businessman from Macau grabbed a woman in her twenties and jumped into a reservoir as a "joke", but the woman could not swim and subsequently drowned, according to reports. 

A court in Guangdong gave the man, who owns two real estate companies in Foshan, a suspended 18-month prison sentence for causing the drowning of the woman, Chinese media reported on Wednesday.
