Man Murders 17 People To Cover Up Previous Murder Of 2 Persons

A 28-year-old man has admitted to killing 19 people, including his parents and three children, during his hearing in southwest China on Wednesday.

The man Yang Qingpei , said he murdered his parents after returning to his home village in Yunnan province on September 28 last year,due to their refusal to give him money, the Qujing City Intermediate People’s Court said on its official microblog account.
In fear of being outted, Yang killed 17 of his neighbours and fled to Yunnan’s provincial capital Kunming, it said, adding that the murder weapon was a pickaxe.

Yang, who was born in 1989, pleaded guilty to all charges and apologised to the relatives of the dead, it added.

The court adjourned Wednesday afternoon for sentencing.

While mass killings are rare, violent crime has been on the rise in China in recent decades as the economy has boomed and the gap between rich and poor has expanded rapidly.

Studies have also described a rise in the prevalence of mental disorders, some of them linked to stress, as the pace of life becomes faster and support systems wither.
