Man Leaves Prison after Two Decades as Retrial Clears Him of Murder

(Beijing) – A migrant worker walked out of a prison in the southern island province of Hainan where he has been held for more than two decades after a court said there was no evidence he was guilty of murder.

Chen Man, 46, was cleared in a retrial that started in April last year and ended on February 1 in Zhejiang High People's Court, in the eastern city of Hangzhou. The court ruled there was no evidence he killed his former landlord in 1992.
