Quote:

(i) "A source close to the family said Heywood's Chinese widow, Lulu, had been pushing for compensation for herself and their two young children from Gu. Lulu and the children are believed to be still living in Beijing.

"Li Xiaolin, a lawyer who has represented Gu's family in the past, said Heywood's family was seeking between 30 million and 50 million yuan ($8.17 million) in compensation.

"'The talks started last year, but have not reached any agreement yet that I know of,' Li told Reuters. 'Gu Kailai has no money herself.'

"Money was not being sought from Bo though as he was not mentioned in the verdict for Gu's case, Li said.

(ii) "The government originally implicated Bo in helping to cover up Heywood's murder, but the legal indictment issued last month made no mention of that and it is unclear if the case will be included in his trial, likely to start this month.
