henanThe highest court of Henan province declared a man innocent after he was handed a suspended death sentence in 2006 for poisoning two children.
 

In November 2004, two children in a Henan village were found poisoned with tetramine, a common rodenticide. One child recovered; the other died. Wu Chunhong, a villager who had been involved in trivial disputes with the children’s family, was arrested and charged with homicide.
 

Wu’s family pleaded his innocence for over a decade, filing appeal after appeal. In September 2018, the Supreme People’s Court ruled there had been insufficient evidence to convict Wu of homicide and ordered a retrial in the Henan High People’s Court.
 

Wu’s daughter said her father never confessed to his alleged crime, and even refused to accept a commuted sentence. In 2018, China’s courts corrected the verdicts of 1,821 criminal cases, reversing guilty decisions in the cases of 819 convicted criminals.
 

河南“吴春红投毒案”15年后改判无罪

4月1日,“吴春红投毒案”在河南高院开庭进行再审宣判。吴春红改判无罪。
 

2004年11月15日,河南民权县周岗村电工王战胜的两个儿子,先后中毒,3岁的小儿子王成(化名),抢救无效死亡。经鉴定,两人均因“毒鼠强”中毒。7天后,民权县公安局刑警大队宣布侦破此案。
 

2005年6月23日至2007年10月30日,商丘市中院三次以故意杀人罪,判处吴春红死缓,但均被河南省高院以“事实不清“为由,发回重审。后商丘市中院第四次开庭,再次以故意杀人罪,判处吴春红无期徒刑。
 

吴春红提出上诉后,河南高院裁定驳回上诉,维持原判。此后,吴春红的申诉亦被河南高院驳回。服刑期间,吴春红坚决不认罪,并拒绝减刑。2016年6月3日,他向最高法院提起申诉。2018年10月3日,吴春红的女儿吴莉莉收到最高法院的《再审决定书》:“吴春红犯故意杀人罪的证据不确实、不充分。指令河南高院对此案进行再审。”

4月1日,“吴春红投毒案”在河南高院开庭进行再审宣判。吴春红被改判无罪。至此,吴春红已被羁押5611天。
