A man suspected of shooting the boss of Taoyuan’s Maolin gang has been apprehended as he tried to flee the country, police said yesterday.

Police say the man surnamed Lin (林) is suspected of being one of two gunmen who killed Chiang Tsung-lin (江宗霖) in Longtan District (龍潭) on Wednesday.

A wanted bulletin led to Lin’s arrest late on Wednesday at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport before he boarded a flight scheduled to leave early in the morning, Longtan Police Precinct deputy chief Shen Ting-li (沈廷利) said.

The local court yesterday approved his detention under restricted communication as prosecutors seek murder charges.    [FULL  STORY]
