Zhang Wuli, the man who killed his wife and son in Daxing district of Beijing last December, was exempted from legal punishment due to his mental illness, the Beijing Times reported Saturday.
He was confirmed to suffer from schizophrenia two weeks ago. Judicial authorities said Zhang committed the crime while suffering from schizophrenia, which caused him to lose self-control. He has been admitted to Ankang Hospital for compulsory treatment.
