"The fact is the thallium liquid I used was prepared by others. What's more, there was no strict management on poisonous reagent. Sometimes, the laboratory was even left unlocked," Sun wrote in her statement.

Reaction to the statement is mixed.

Some expressed doubt on Sun's statement.

A netizen nicknamed Yanshanqiandu2 believed Sun was exactly the guilty person who was trying to cover up her wrongdoings. "Why did you choose to keep silent ten years ago,"  questioned Yanshanqiandu2.

A reply by Qipilaolang said: "Suspicion does not amount to your guilt, nor does the clearing statement warrant your innocence."

Meanwhile, Sun also drew sympathy. "I support you, innocent Sun Wei. Both you and Zhu Ling are victims, and worthy of sympathy. Wish your and your family could live a peaceful life again. Wish Zhu Ling a quick recovery, and her family peace and happiness!" wrote a netizen nicknamed Onisdabird.
