CHINESE police have arrested three in an infamous murder case, in which the victim was wrongly identified, and an innocent man wrongly jailed for 11 years.
The Public Security Bureau in Shangqiu City, central China's Henan Province, confirmed yesterday they used DNA to identify the beheaded body as Gao Zongzhi, not Zhao Zhenshang - who turned up alive on April 30 this year after he'd been missing since 1997.
Police arrested Zhao Zuohai after the dismembered body was found in 1999. Zhao was acquitted on May 9 after the long imprisonment.
Shangqiu police said that all of the three suspects -Yang Mingfu, Li Haijin and Zhang Xiangliang - disappeared from their homes in Shangqiu's rural areas after Zhao's acquittal.
Police later arrested Yang in downtown Shangqiu, Li in north China's Tianjin Municipality, and Zhang in northeast China's Liaoning Province in May.
The three confessed to killing the local man Gao over a business dispute.
