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.

据《中国青年报》报道，一名男子被误判谋杀而坐牢九年，虽然最后得到了89万元的赔偿，如今却饱受精神疾病的折磨。

2001年9月，广西壮族自治区河池市村民吴宗谋与王子发一起吃晚饭时被人捅死，王子发因此被以谋杀罪判处死刑。

2007年案情出现转机，因抢劫罪服刑的覃汉宝，承认自己才是杀死吴宗谋的凶手。

王子发重新获得了自由，但在服刑期间确患上了妄想型分裂症，目前正接受间歇性治疗。
