A court in north China will announce its verdict on Monday in the case of an alleged serial killer, after his case was reopened more than eight years since his first trial.
Zhao Zhihong, 42, was tried on charges of murder, rape, robbery and larceny at Hohhot Intermediate People's Court in January in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Zhao was apprehended in 2005 and confessed to a string of rape and murder cases, including one in a public toilet in Hohhot in 1996 that was pinned on teenager Huugjilt, who was wrongly sentenced and executed for the crime. Huugjilt was exonerated in December 2014.
Huugjilt's parents were at the court on Monday.
