Chinese man compensated for false murder conviction

A Chinese man jailed for murder and then freed when his supposed victim reappeared has been awarded government compensation, Chinese state media say.

Zhao Zuohai, 57, was imprisoned for murdering his neighbour a decade ago, but released recently after the man returned to his village.

Mr Zhao said police had beaten him and forced him to confess.

He has now been given $96,000 (£67,000) compensation. Two policemen accused of beating him have been arrested.
