Ex-top cop in Hohhot on trial for corruption
Print Edition
A FORMER police officer in charge of a case where a teenager was wrongfully executed for a murder he did not commit in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region stood trial for taking bribes and illegal weapon possession yesterday.
Feng Zhiming, former deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of Hohhot, the regional capital, was accused of taking advantage of his position and accepted bribes of over 4.5 million yuan (US$680,000), the regional procuratorate said.
Feng could not explain the source of property worth more than 34 million yuan, which far exceeded his legal income. He had four unauthorized firearms and 549 bullets, the procuratorate said.
Huugjilt, then 18, was convicted of raping and killing a woman in a public toilet in Hohhot in 1996 and was executed 61 days after the murder. Feng headed a special team to investigate Huugjilt’s case.
A serial rapist and murderer, Zhao Zhihong confessed to the killing in 2005 and was given a death sentence in 2015.
On December 15, 2014, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Higher People’s Court exonerated Huugjilt, ruling that he was not guilty of rape and murder, as the facts of his case were unclear and evidence inadequate.
Investigations against Feng started two days after the exoneration.
The wrongful conviction of Huugjilt led to the punishment of 26 other police officials who received administrative penalties.
