Family killer asks court for 'quick death'
0 
"Li has admitted all the details of the murder. My efforts just focus on a lighter sentence and the compensation amount for the civil claims by the victims' family members," Li's lawyer, Pan Zhidong, told China Daily.
However, when questioned on the details in court, Li often replied with "I have no memory" or "I forgot".
Li has suffered appendicitis three times over the past two months.
The court had planned to hear the case last Wednesday but rescheduled it because Li suffered an outbreak of acute appendicitis last week.
"Li has recovered well from the acute appendicitis and is in good condition now. But he is obviously in great pain and never wants to recall the accident any more," Pan said
Li wept several times when prosecutors showed the judge court record documents, including photos of the crime scene.
"I have no more words. I just hope the court gives me a quick death and puts an end to this as soon as possible," Li said calmly but loudly in his final statement.
Family members of the victims are claiming compensation of more than 4 million yuan ($597,000).
The property of Li's family is worth more than 5 million yuan, according to Pan.
The verdict will be pronounced later.
