Police would set up additional patrols to prevent similar incidents, Chen said.In recent years, Lin Tay-jou has been active in environmental protection movements and has filmed a series of feature and documentary films exposing the severity of environmental pollution in Taiwan. However, National Police Agency Deputy Director-General Chen Chia-chang (陳嘉昌) said at a legislative session that yesterday’s killing was an isolated case. In 2012, a man cut the throat of a 10-year-old boy in a bathroom at a video game arcade in Tainan. Last year, an intruder entered a bathroom at an elementary school in Taipei and slashed the throat of an eight-year-old girl. The girl’s murder was the third apparently random killing of a child in Taiwan in four years. School officials rejected the allegations, but said that military instructors from the school’s safety center and local police have tightened security and stepped up patrols around the campus. In related news, earlier media reports that Wang allegedly attempted to scale the walls of Taipei Municipal Xihu Elementary School near the scene of the attack appeared to be erroneous.

Wang has convictions for drug offenses and is unemployed, police said. At the time, he had admitted to using narcotics, but a drug test returned negative, the hospital said.įurther investigation would be required to discern whether Wang had sought psychiatric treatment elsewhere, the hospital said. The hospital confirmed that Wang had sought treatment there once in 2014, but said that does not prove he has a mental illness. Records showed that Wang, 33, had sought treatment at Taipei City Hospital’s Songde Branch, a public psychiatric hospital, but he does not have a government-issued disability card, police said.

Wang was quoted by police as saying that he did not know the victim, and that he had purchased the knife earlier in the morning. The girl’s parents and grandparents were later seen kneeling next to her body, weeping.Īn angry mob attempted to assault Wang yesterday afternoon when he was escorted by police out of the Neihu Precinct to board a vehicle to take him for further questioning, with some in the mob shouting: “Do you have no conscience?”Ĭurses and yells of “Kill him” from the mob descended into scuffles and police were eventually forced to return him to the station.Īccording to police, Wang had previously been treated at a psychiatric hospital in the city. The girl’s mother called on the government for measures to guarantee the nation’s working mothers’ peace of mind, saying: “The government said it is focusing on families and education, so how could this happen?” I will never see her again, and she will never see her brother and sister again.” “Xiao Deng Pao told me that she missed her brother and sister, so she wanted to pick them up,” her tearful mother said. “I never thought this society was so dangerous,” the mother said, expressing the hope that her daughter would be the last victim of a random attack. The girl’s mother said that when area residents who heard her screams for help rushed to the scene, she saw that her daughter had been decapitated. She said she was still closing the distance between her and her daughter when the man started attacking Liu, and she was unable to pull him away from her daughter due to his strength. When the attacker approached the girl, her mother said she thought he was going to help her pick up her bicycle, but instead he began attacking her. The man who was arrested following the murder of a four-year-old girl arrives at a Taipei police station for questioning yesterday.
