(Central News Agency reporter Tsai Chih-ming, Yunlin County, 9th) Former legislator and former chairman of Beigang Chaotian Temple, Tseng Tsai Mei-tso, was assaulted and injured at her residence on the morning of the 7th. Yunlin prosecutors today sought the detention of Tsai Chin-tsai, son of Yunlin County Deputy Speaker Tsai Yung-te, who is suspected of involvement, and the court ruled for his detention and restricted visits.
The Yunlin District Court issued a press release stating that prosecutors today requested the detention of Tsai Chin-tsai and Chiu Kai-sheng due to concerns of collusion with accomplices and witnesses. Considering that the statements of the two defendants still differ from those of other accomplices who have appeared, and that other accomplices have not yet been apprehended, and that Tsai Chin-tsai and others could not reasonably explain why they suddenly rushed to the victim's home and engaged in a fierce conflict during the Mazu pilgrimage festivities, the court deemed that only detention could ensure subsequent investigative actions and approved the detention, prohibiting visits and communications.
The Yunlin District Prosecutors Office stated that 17 suspects had been apprehended previously, and today, four more, including Tsai Chin-tsai and Chiu Kai-sheng, were apprehended, and their detention was approved by the court upon request. (Editor: Lee Hsi-chang) 1150509
