A man arrested for the murder of two people last week told the police he committed the crime so that he could be sentenced to death.

The accused, surnamed Bin, 20, a resident of Jiangmen, Guangdong province, allegedly strangled two strangers to death on Dec 1.

Following his arrest last Wednesday, Bin said he had failed to land a job and killed those two people, hoping to be sent to the gallows, as he didn't have the courage to end his own life.
