TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — On May 2 a boyfriend and girlfriend, surnamed Wang (王)
and Liu (劉) respectively, were walking along a river in Taichung when the couple began to fight and Liu pushed Wang into the river then walked away, not realizing that she had pushed Wang to his death.
Taichung vice police chief Shen Chin-chung (沈錦忠) said in a statement today that Wang’s body was discovered on Friday with a cellphone and no other identification, reported CNA.
“At first we thought Wang’s death was an accident but then we realized that there was no vehicle near the scene of the crime,” said Shen. Police got in touch with Wang’s little brother, as the cellphone was registered under his name, and were then able to confirm Wang’s identity. [FULL STORY]
