More time for review of murder case
Print Edition
A REVIEW of a rape and murder case for which a young man was executed 20 years ago is to be extended because of the complexity of the case, a court in east China’s Shandong Province has said.
The review of Nie Shubin’s case will now end on September 15, three months later than the previous deadline, the court said.
Nie was 21 when he was convicted of the rape and murder of a woman in Shijiazhuang, the capital of neighboring Hebei Province.
In 2005, however, Wang Shujin said that he was responsible for the crime.
A review of the case was launched in December 2014.
The case has echoes of a 1996 case in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region where a teenager named Huugjilt was executed for the rape and murder of a woman in June 1996. Another man, a self-confessed serial rapist and killer, admitted to the crime while in police custody in 2005.
In December 2014, Huugjilt was declared innocent.
