A man wrongly jailed for nine years for a murder he didn't commit received 890,000 yuan (US$130,720) in compensation, but now is suffering serious mental illness, China Youth Daily reported.

Wang Zifa, a villager in Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was sentenced to death for the murder of Wu Zongmou, a local villager who was stabbed to death while having supper with Wang in September 2001.

The turning point came in 2007, when the actual culprit Tan Hanbao, in prison for robbery, confessed to killing Wu.

Wang regained his freedom, but has developed paranoid schizophrenia during imprisonment. He is receiving medical treatment intermittently.

據《中國青年報》報道，一名男子被誤判謀殺而坐牢九年，雖然最后得到了89萬元的賠償，如今卻飽受精神疾病的折磨。

2001年9月，廣西壯族自治區河池市村民吳宗謀與王子發一起吃晚飯時被人捅死，王子發因此被以謀殺罪判處死刑。

2007年案情出現轉機，因搶劫罪服刑的覃漢寶，承認自己才是殺死吳宗謀的兇手。

王子發重新獲得了自由，但在服刑期間確患上了妄想型分裂癥，目前正接受間歇性治療。
