When the two-year-old girl was sent to the hospital on the evening of the 8th, her parents told the hospital that the girl fell from the stairs. However, doctors from the emergency room and pediatric department of Zhonghe Memorial Hospital affiliated to the National Medical University found that there were many old and new injuries on the girl's body, which were not consistent with "fall injuries".
With their rich clinical experience, the medical team suspected that this was a serious case of child abuse, and immediately notified the police and the Social Affairs Bureau. Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital also quickly assisted in the treatment; on the morning of the 9th, the girl was still pronounced dead due to serious injuries.
When prosecutors examined the cause of the girl's death, the girl's mother, Deng Nu, still insisted that her daughter had fallen down the stairs at home last week, leaving bruises on her body. She fell down the stairs again on the evening of the 8th and unexpectedly died in the hospital. She expressed great sadness over her daughter's death.
After receiving the police report, the prosecutor immediately ordered Chief Prosecutor Gan Ruoping and Prosecutor Qiu Yufang of the Maternal and Child Special Task Force, and directed the Social Affairs Bureau and the Sanmin Second Police Bureau to form a task force. During the National Day holiday, forensic doctor Pan Zhixin was arranged to conduct an autopsy. It was confirmed that the injuries on the girl's body were not caused by a fall from the stairs, and it was determined that the girl was suspected of being tortured to death.
After interrogation on the evening of the 10th, prosecutors found that Xiong and Deng were jointly involved in the crime of intentionally injuring children and interfering with the development of children under seven years old. They believed that the two crimes were serious and that there were reasons and necessity for detention, so they applied to the Kaohsiung District Court for detention. After a late-night hearing, the court determined that the two men were suspected of serious crimes and ruled that they should be detained without permission.
The social bureau places the girl’s sister
The Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office stated that the girl's younger brother is still hospitalized for observation. The girl's family also has a sister who is under seven years old and has been placed under the care of the Kaohsiung City Social Affairs Bureau. The Gao City Social Affairs Bureau stated yesterday that the girl's family is not a high-risk family under control, and the case is under investigation and will cooperate with the investigation.
