Man released after wrongful conviction

Liao Haijun spent 11 years in jail for a double murder he didn't commit

A man who was wrongly convicted of intentional homicide about 15 years ago was cleared on Thursday, when a court ruled that his conviction was based on insufficient evidence.

Tangshan Intermediate People's Court in Hebei province announced that Liao Haijun was not guilty of killing two girls, "as the evidence in this case does not prove he had the motivation to do the offense, and the blood collected in his home was difficult to identify as being from the victims".
