Payout for wrongfully jailed woman
Print Edition
A woman who was wrongfully convicted of murder and jailed for 13 years was yesterday awarded compensation of 1.72 million yuan (US$258,300), the Higher People’s Court of Yunnan Province said.
The court ruled that Qian Renfeng’s confession was made under duress and that she was not guilty of the murder she was convicted of in February 2002.
Qian was working at a nursery where a toddler died of food poisoning and two other children were hospitalized. Qian, who had prepared the children’s meals that day, was forced to confess that she had put rat poison in the food.
In July 2013, the Yunnan provincial procuratorate reopened the investigation, which took nearly two years to complete.
In May 2015, the procuratorate ruled that there was a lack of evidence to support the conviction, and advised the provincial higher court to rehear the case.
The higher court quashed the sentence in December last year, ruling that it lacked sufficient evidence to determine guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
Qian had asked for up to 9.55 million yuan in damages.
