Taipei, May 30 (CNA) Judges in Taipei granted a request by prosecutors Saturday to detain a man who allegedly knifed to death a second-grader at a school in the nation’s capital.

Shihlin prosecutors requested that 29-year-old Kung Chung-an (龔重安) be taken into custody, a day after he entered Wenhua Elementary School in the suburban district of Beitou and slit the throat of an 8-year-old girl.

The girl, identified only by her surname Liu, was pronounced dead at 10:43 a.m.

Liu showed no vital signs by the time she arrived at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital, the hospital said. She had a 10-centimeter cut to her neck with a severed trachea and carotid artery, the hospital said.     [FULL  STORY]
