Wu also beat a 13-year-old boy to death in the same village in 2001. He was released home a year later because he suffered from mental illness.The woman built the cage when no one else agreed to help her out for fear of being attacked by Wu. Wang said: 'I wielded the cage while crying heavily. Although he suffers from mental illness and killed a person, he still is my son. Thinking I was making a cage to lock him in, my heart was broken.'
