A
second-grader whose throat was cut at an elementary school in Taipei
The
eight-year-old girl, who was identified only by her surname, Liu (劉), was found bleeding
from her neck and unconscious on the floor of a bathroom on Friday afternoon
and was rushed to Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
Medical staff
said Liu showed no vital signs when she arrived at the hospital and had a 10cm cut to her neck that had severed her
trachea and carotid artery.
Doctors
resuscitated Liu and restored her vital signs after surgery, but she remained
in critical condition. She was pronounced dead at 10:43am yesterday.
The suspected killer, 29-year-old Kung Chung-an (龔重安), was taken into custody after questioning at Taipei’s Shilin District
Prosecutors’ Office yesterday, with authorities continuing their investigation.
Kung is
suspected of having entered Wenhua Elementary School in Taipei’s northern
Beitou District (北投) on Friday
and using a knife to slit Liu’s throat.
Police said
preliminary questioning indicated that Kung picked Liu as his victim simply
because she was alone and outside of her classroom.
He allegedly
followed her into the toilet, where he grabbed her from behind and cut her
throat.
Kung also
said that lately he felt stressed and that he heard voices scolding him, which
led to him committing the crime.
An official
at the Shilin District Court said that Kung admitted attacking the girl during
questioning yesterday.
Kung’s family
said he moved out a few years ago to live alone, adding that he was fond of
playing action computer games and enjoyed reading comic books.
Kung was
taken into custody and transferred to the Taipei Detention Center in New Taipei
City’s Tucheng District (土城) after his
bail hearing yesterday, where prosecutors cited the likelihood of him
attempting to flee justice.

It's a very horrible news. I think I won't go to the toilet alone. I think there are many people break the law and kill others that they always say, "I have some problems on control myself. " to reduce their prison term. The judge needs to figure out whether they really have problems or not.
回覆刪除In my opinion, I hate a person who is in bad mood and harm others. When I watched the news, I felt incredible and hope the prisoner enter the jail forever. Although I support death penalty, I hope the prisoner could think the thing what he did and confess and realize he did the wrong thing.
