A man who killed eight of his neighbors following a dispute over the positioning of a mirror in Pingdingshan City of central China's Henan Province has been sentenced to death.
A local court convicted Li Lingtao, 41, of murdering eight people on May 20 using an iron bar, an axe and a cleaver. The dead included three children.
Li surrendered to police after the crime, saying that he was angry that his neighbors living opposite the street had put up a mirror on their gate. He suspected they were trying to damage his feng shui, the ancient Chinese philosophical system under which geomantic omens are held to affect the fortunes of an abode.
During an open trial attended by nearly 100 people on Thursday, Li admitted to the court that he killed the people seeking revenge.
The Intermediate People's Court of Pingdingshan also deprived him of his political rights for life.
