into a murder-suicide, after a male body was discovered at Emei Lake (峨眉湖) in Hsinchu county on Saturday, April 28.
The discovery of the body follows the murder of a 44 year old Indonesian woman surnamed Chen (陳), who was killed by her live-in boyfriend surnamed Chang (張) on April 25 in Miaoli, where they had been cohabiting for several years.
The male suspect, also 44 years old, reportedly fled the scene by car that evening, and was being sought by police.
The report from CNA notes that Chang worked as a driver for a bus company, and had become concerned that Chen was considering marriage with a new partner. In his jealousy, Chang reportedly killed his long-time girlfriend in the home they shared above a small breakfast restaurant in Miaoli. [FULL STORY]
