Two lawyers representing the family of Nie Shubin, who was executed in 1995 after being convicted of raping and killing a woman in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province, went to the Shandong High People's Court on Tuesday to read judicial documents related to the case.

They were accompanied by Nie's mother, Zhang Huanzhi.

Nie was executed at age 21. A decade later, Wang Shujin, then 47, confessed to the crimes.
