TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The parents of a Malaysian student who was raped and murdered near her college campus in southern Taiwan departed from the country on Wednesday (Nov. 4) carrying the ashes of their beloved daughter.

After a Malaysian national surnamed Chung (鍾) studying at Chang Jung Christian University (CJCU) in Tainan was strangled to death on Oct. 28, her parents arrived in Taiwan on Sunday (Nov. 1) to mourn her loss and bring her remains back to her home country. On Wednesday, Chung's father was seen at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport carrying her ashes in a black box with her mother at his side, still in tears over the tragic loss.

Chung's parents were seen by Taoyuan Airport immigration officials checking into an airport hotel on Tuesday evening (Nov. 3), reported CNA. After a night's rest, they packed their bags and were transported to the airport.

When they checked in via the Huan Yu VIP Terminal, they booked a seat on which to place their deceased daughter's ashes. Deputy Interior Minister Chen Tsung-yen (陳宗彥), aviation police, and immigration officers then accompanied the couple to the departure lounge before the airline crew assisted them in boarding their flight.    [FULL  STORY]
