(Central News Agency, Taipei, June 5) A man surnamed Liu in Miaoli County, allegedly dissatisfied with the noise from loading and unloading mail at the Zhunan Post Office, attacked an outsourced driver surnamed Yang with a knife, causing severe injuries that led to his death. Chunghwa Post today strongly condemned the suspect and stated it will assist the family with funeral arrangements, insurance payouts, and hire a lawyer to pursue civil compensation.
Chunghwa Post explained in a text message yesterday that the Miaoli Post Office's Zhunan branch reported at 1:35 p.m. that the suspect, surnamed Liu, who had previously filed a noise complaint against the Zhunan Post Office, was brandishing a kitchen knife and shouting at the post office from his home. The branch manager, surnamed Zhan, subsequently reported the incident to the police. However, at around 4 p.m., the suspect attacked the outsourced driver, surnamed Yang.
Chunghwa Post stated that Liu had long been dissatisfied with the noise from mail loading and unloading at the Zhunan Post Office and had filed a lawsuit against it. Court investigations and measurements by the Environmental Protection Bureau found that the noise levels did not exceed the standards set by the Noise Control Act. Liu withdrew the lawsuit before the verdict.
Chunghwa Post Chairman Wang Kuo-tsai told media today that he has instructed the company's Postal Operations Department and Legal Compliance Office, in coordination with the Miaoli Post Office, to assist the family with funeral arrangements, relevant insurance payouts, and hiring a lawyer to pursue civil compensation.
