Homicide investigations in Taiwan and China

Overview

Authorities in Taiwan and China have reported developments in homicide investigations and legal proceedings.

In Taiwan, a 43-year-old man surnamed Wu has been detained following the discovery of a missing foreign woman's body at the NTC National Trade Center in Taichung. Prosecutors have applied for his detention, citing risks of flight and the potential destruction of evidence.

In China, the Guiyang Intermediate People's Court concluded a case involving a man surnamed Zhang, who was found to have murdered and dismembered his wife in 2019. Zhang had spent six years impersonating his wife on social media to suggest she had left him for an affair. The crime was identified through DNA matching of a skull found in 2019. While Zhang received a life sentence, the Guiyang People's Procuratorate has filed an appeal, stating the sentence is “obviously inappropriate” due to the brutality of the crime.
