(Central News Agency reporter Zhao Liyan, Taichung, 4th) A 2-year-old girl was abused to death by her mother's boyfriend in Taichung City. The Taichung District Prosecutors Office indicted the man, surnamed Lin, for虐待致死 (abuse leading to death). Taichung Mayor Lu Shiow-yen expressed grief and reluctance to part with the child today, demanding heavy penalties and severe punishment for the perpetrator.
Lin lived with his girlfriend and her 2-year-old daughter in a Taichung residence. From November last year to February this year, Lin long-term abused the girl by beating and throwing her, leading to her death. After investigation, the prosecutor indicted Lin on the 1st for the crime of abuse leading to death. The case will be heard by a citizen court.
Mayor Lu attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Dajia Junior High School underground parking lot today. She accepted media interviews, expressing grief and reluctance to part with the child regarding this case, and strongly demanded heavy penalties and severe punishment for the perpetrator.
Mayor Lu pointed out that according to the Taichung City Family Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Center, because this case frequently moved, it was originally a case managed by Tainan. After moving to Taichung, the center reported to the original managing unit in Tainan, but unfortunately, the tragedy still occurred during this process.
Mayor Lu stated that the most important thing is that the perpetrator has now been caught. She hopes the judiciary will severely punish this child abuser, restore justice for the child, and demonstrate the judiciary's determination to protect children. (Editor: Zhang Yajing) 1150604
