A WOMAN, 19, accused of killing her adoptive parents and dismembering their corpses appeared in a southern China court yesterday as a gruesome obsession with body mutilation was revealed.
The Intermediate People's Court of Zhongshan City in Guangdong Province is hearing the case against Qi Pingping.
She allegedly suffocated her parents with plastic bags on September 11 last year at the family's low-rental apartment in Zhongshan's suburbs after becoming infuriated by a quarrel between the couple that day, China News Service reported yesterday.
Qi Pingping placed a plastic bag over the head of her adoptive mother, Li Huixiang, and tied her hands behind her, according to her confession to police.
It took Li about half an hour to die, she said.
She told police Li proposed a divorce that night and kept yelling at Qi Yunxi, her adoptive father.
Qi said she killed her adoptive father the same way as he tried to persuade her to surrender to police.
According to police, the young woman bought knives and a hammer to dismember the corpses and put body parts in 38 plastic bags, which were discovered four days later when the landlord made a forced entry into the apartment.
The landlord had received complaints from other tenants about a foul odor in the eight-story building in Yunhan Village of Shaxi Town.
Police were called and detained the teenager.
The teen updated her blog on September 13 describing herself as "relaxed."
According to relatives, Qi Pingping was adopted when she was three days old and spoiled by the family.
She said in her blog that she loved her parents.
She also disclosed in the blog that she suffered from insomnia and relied heavily on sleeping pills.
She owned three accounts for online chatting and often talked to more than a dozen Netizens at the same time.
Her favorite person in the virtual world was a weird drug-addicted woman, who committed suicide by cutting her wrists.
Qi Pingping collected dozens of online images of the woman's self-mutilation.
