In October 2025, a violent incident in the Guanyin District of Taoyuan City resulted in the death of a 52‑year‑old man named Lai. The case was brought to the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office, which charged the suspect, a 52‑year‑old man named Wang, with homicide by injury. Wang and Lai had moved into a rented apartment on Fuguo Street on 14 October 2025. The property was leased by Lai from a landlord named Li. According to the indictment, the two men had frequent disputes after moving in. Prosecutors allege that Wang repeatedly used a bamboo broom, a clothes‑line pole, and a black stick to assault Lai over a period of seven days. The first assault occurred on the evening of 15 October, the day after the move‑in. Wang allegedly struck Lai’s head with a bamboo broom and then used the broom and the clothes‑line pole to hit Lai’s arms and legs. He also struck Lai’s chest with his bare hands and with the pole, causing swelling on Lai’s head and injuries to his limbs. On the night of 17–18 October, Wang again attacked Lai with a black stick, striking Lai’s head and face and puncturing his body. On 21 October, Wang struck Lai’s chest with the stick, causing Lai to fall to the floor. Lai later went to the bathroom to wash up, but collapsed and could not get up. Wang did not call the police or emergency services and left the apartment. On 25 October, the landlord Li entered the apartment to read the electricity meter. He found Lai lying on the floor with the door unlocked and immediately called the police and fire department. Emergency responders arrived and determined that Lai had died. A forensic examination confirmed that Lai suffered multiple external injuries to the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and limbs. The injuries caused intracranial bleeding, extensive subcutaneous hemorrhage, brain damage, rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury, which led to his death. Lai’s daughter filed a complaint, and the Taoyuan Police Department’s Dayuan Sub‑branch requested a forensic examination by the Taoyuan District Prosecutors Office. After the investigation, prosecutors charged Wang with homicide by injury under Article 277(2) of the Criminal Code. The case will be heard by a national judge.
