Girl, 3, decapitated in apparently random killing in Taiwan

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwanese media are reporting that a 3-year-old girl has been decapitated in an apparently random killing outside a subway station in the capital.

Local media say police arrested a man following Monday's attack in Taipei.

According to the reports, the man, identified by his surname, Wang, grabbed the girl from behind and decapitated her with a cleaver shortly before noon. The girl was with her mother, who was unable to prevent the attack.

Hours later, an angry crowd gathered outside the police station where Wang had been taken, some brandishing baseball bats in apparent preparation for an attack on the suspect.

The government-run Central News Agency said the 33-year-old Wang had an arrest record for drug crimes and had been treated for mental illness.

Violent crime is rare in Taiwan.

"some brandishing baseball bats in apparent preparation for an attack on the suspect."

Let him have a few minutes of freedom with them and let the cards fall where they may.

I don't approve of vigilantism, but had the police all decides to go for an extended lunch at the same time I doubt many people would be asking many questions.

It is truly amazing, how many really sick people there are on the loose !! Already has a record and allowed to walk the streets ?

[PETERTHEEATER]

I'm speechless!

[canuckamuck]

Humanity has about run its course I am afraid.

The government-run Central News Agency said the 33-year-old Wang had an arrest record for drug crimes and had been treated for mental illness.

As if that negates the crime.

He obviously didn't receive the correct treatment for his mental illness.

This seems like the actions of a man very high on drugs.

Whatever.This act perpetrated on an innocent 3 year old child is evil in it's purest form.

My deepest sympathies go out to her family,especially the Mother who will be traumatised by this for the rest of her life.

How very very sad.

RIP little child.

Hope there's death penalty in Taiwan and no dogooder laws that would prevent mentally ill people from being put to death. The people who "treated him for mental illness" and released him should get severe sentences too. In general it amazes me, that all so-called psychiatrists never have to fear legal responsibility for releasing hopeless cases like this one...

RIP, poor little one - hope you are in heaven with the angels now.

What a terrible tragedy, what a waste

There are many millions of people that "are on the loose" and have criminal records. Would you imprison them all for life?

So sad. RIP little girl.

Yes, until they are better.

It's like the kid that kicked the two girls into the canal in Bangkok and stepped on their hands when they tried to get out.

Eye for an eye, toss that kid in the canal and when he tries to get out kick him back. Let that little <deleted> know how those little girls felt.

Send this guy out to the mob, let them have at it. A$$hole.

I would extend that to a few days, or weeks, or months.

[The Deerhunter]

Just appalling! OMG!!!

as soon as people start showing potentially violent behaviour they need to be tagged

I agree. So that includes the angry mob with baseball bats right?

[jhonnie]

reckon the State should run a lottery to see who gets to pull the lever and then give the proceeds to the family, I would have the first 10 tickets!

Unbelievable tragedy.

So sad.

You had a good post going until you dishonored the little girl, the family and us with heaven and angels lunacy. Would this be the same imaginary place that houses the same imaginary entity that lets this and all sorts of similar happen almost daily? ? ? Not to even mention the human pain and suffering around the world every day.

Grow up! There are no gods, nor heaven, hell, angels or demons. The poor child is not in a better place...she's DEAD. Brutally murdered in front of her mother by a psychopath...and infantile babble does nothing to lessen this horrendous reality.

[bridge2bridge]

Mental problems or not.

He should NEVER have been allowed on the streets.

To commit a crime like this.

CAPITAL Punishment for this crime.

[Happy Grumpy]

Some comments about what should be done to a mentally ill human are disgusting.

Be ashamed of yourselves.

She is not anywhere, she is dead. Ashes to ashes dust to dust. Heaven is only in your imagination.

OK, we got it already from your nick; you're a skeptic.

However, this topic and the brief heaven/angel reference is a pitifully lame excuse to post such a flaming/trollish religion-bashing diatribe.

The poster can now go beat his dead horse on a more appropriate forum. Or attempt to hijack another topic instead.

The only pitifully lame dead horse being beaten here is the ignorant, immature, unrealistic, moronic and delusional references to nonexistent supernatural entities and afterlifes...which is the equivalent of sticking ones head in the sand. Truth and reality matter whether you choose to accept them or not.
