Why It Matters
When the police were tracking the whereabouts of the wanted drug witch, they accidentally discovered that the number of children supported by her family did not match.
When the Guishan police were tracking down a wanted drug suspect, they accidentally discovered that one of her children was missing, and the case of the infant corpse was revealed.
The Guishan Branch of the Taoyuan City Police Department was tracking down a 29-year-old woman surnamed Wu who was wanted in a drug case. They accidentally discovered that the child raised by the witch and her 39-year-old boyfriend surnamed Lin was one missing. After further questioning, it was discovered that the two had packed the body of a baby who died of illness under the age of 1. The plastic bucket was abandoned in the Linkou mountainous area of New Taipei City. The police followed the lead and found the plastic bucket in the bushes beside Dashuinan Road in Linkou. The baby's body in the bucket had turned into bones. The two were transferred to the Taoyuan District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of torturing and killing children under the age of 7 and abusing corpses.
The police said that the witch had been sentenced for a drug case, but when she was released from prison, she failed to report to the police as required. When the police traced her whereabouts, they simultaneously checked her family situation and found that one of the many children she originally supported was missing, and they further traced the case of abandoning the body.
The police went to the Linkou Mountain area to search based on the two people's statements. They found a blue plastic bucket in a sparsely populated bush near Dashuinan Road. There were only scattered factories around the place and the location was quite remote. After the police opened the plastic bucket, they confirmed that there was the body of a baby under 1 year old with white bones inside.
The witch’s boyfriend, surnamed Lin, testified that the child had been unwell before his death and was originally intended to be sent to the hospital, but the witch thought it was unnecessary and the child died afterwards. The prosecutors have reservations about their statements and will conduct an autopsy to confirm the exact time and cause of the baby’s death, as well as whether he was mistreated before his death.
