Taipei, Aug. 28 (CNA) A passenger caught dodging train fares was indicted by Chiayi prosecutors on Wednesday for stabbing a railway police officer to death in southern Chiayi City last month.

The 54-year-old passenger surnamed Cheng (鄭) has been detained for homicide and obstructing an officer in the discharge of his duties since he stabbed 24-year-old railway police officer Lee Cheng-han (李承翰) on a train from Tainan to Taipei on July 3, when he was found to not have a valid ticket.

Lee died in hospital the next day.    [SOURCE]
