A man supposedly executed for robbery nine years ago has been found living with his family in Beijing, New Express Daily reported yesterday.
Tang Jianmin, an innocent migrant worker from central China's Hubei Province, had no idea a robber had used his name, and the truth was not discovered by the authorities until 2009, seven years after the execution, the newspaper reported.
The convict was actually Tang's cousin, Zhang Wenhua. When Zhang was detained by the police, he claimed he was Tang. No one verified his identity, the newspaper said.
Before he committed a series of robberies in 2000, seriously injuring two women, Zhang was wanted for a murder in 1997. He may have given a false name in the belief he was escaping a more serious charge, according to the newspaper.
Zhang - under the name of his cousin - appealed against the death sentence but the judgment was upheld by a higher court.
Zhang was shot on June 6, 2002, under Tang's name, while his real name remained on the police wanted list.
Xu Hao, Zhang's schoolmate and a teacher from Xiangyang, Hubei, received the death penalty with a two-year reprieve in 1999 as Zhang's accomplice in murdering a security guard at a hospital.
Xu and his family deny he committed the crime and have been trying to reverse the verdict. Xu's sentence was years ago reduced to 20 years for good behavior.
He is still in jail.
