Unsettling Discovery in Changhua’s Creek
On October 29, a group of locals chasing a leisurely stroll by a quiet creek in Changhua, Taiwan, came across a heart‑stopping sight: a 50‑year‑old man floating in the water, with a 40‑kg rock clamped around his torso and a dark bag snugly wrapped over his head. The find sparked a chill through the town.
Police Probe and a Family Twist
- On November 2, a woman linked to the case was taken into custody.
- Investigations hinted at a twisted family plot: her relatives allegedly orchestrated a plan to wipe out his lover.
The Romance That Went Sour
The victim, a divorced man, met a 30‑year‑old KTV hostess in Taipei late last year. He swooned for her, showering her with a brand‑new BMW and a generous monthly stipend of 100,000 TWD (about S$4,900).
Breakup and Aftermath
September saw the couple call it quits. The woman checked out of the man’s Taipei apartment, and neighbors told the media of the sudden move. Yet fate had other plans.
Mid‑October Reunion – The Final Twist
In mid‑October, the hostess re‑appeared, seen leaving a friend’s gathering with the man heading to her home in Changhua. After that, silence fell.
With the man never heard from again, the locals are left with a chilling image of what went down in the creek. The case continues to unfold as investigators dig deeper into this bizarre, tragic tale.
The Wild Tale of a Mysterious Arrest
What the Police Heard At First
Right after the suspect was cuffed, she told officers that she had gone out partying with the deceased and his family back in October. According to her, a heated argument blew up—she swore she slapped him, and the bell finally rang at his heart.
But Wait… The Story Changed
Whoa, crossover episode! She later told the police that the whole gang, her family included, beat the man to death. Sounds like a bad reality‑TV finale, doesn’t it?
Inside the Surveillance
- Cash Out: Video caught the woman taking a massive haul from the victim’s bank account with his own ATM card.
- Transparency Issues: The suspect didn’t say whether she was a “kept woman,” and she denied the claim that she’d snatched the man’s money.
Who’s Involved?
The investigation bumped into a possible family angle. Police took the victim’s parents and younger brother into custody as their roles get shone into the spotlight.
Confessions and Defenses
- Father’s Admission: He later admitted he killed the man after seeing him hit his daughter.
- Brother’s Denial: The suspect’s brother shrugged off any role in the attack.
And that’s the drama as we know it—mixing homicide, theft, and a sprinkle of family law drama. If this were a movie, the thriller genre would love the plot twists!
