Three suspects have been arrested after an elderly woman and her daughter were found bound and gagged, one dead, and one unconscious, in their Xinzhuang District apartment on the evening of July 26.

At around 8:00pm Thursday evening, a man named Lee called police after being unable to contact his mother and sister, and finding the door of their Zhonghe Road residence locked. After firefighters forced the door open, the two women were found bound, gagged, and blindfolded, laying on the floor wrapped in blankets.

The 90 year-old mother was found without trace of heartbeat or breathing, and was declared dead at the hospital. The deceased woman’s 67 year-old daughter was unconscious, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

After regaining consciousness, Ms Lee provided information to police that pointed to a suspect named Lin. As the investigation progressed, two accomplices, Zhang and Peng, also became suspects.    [FULL  STORY]
