Who is "Elisa"? The boss who hacked Ha Ji-won to death to vent his anger on his ex-girlfriend was unconvinced by the judge and sentenced to 18 years

Taipei City man Huang Xiangyuan (41 years old) armed with a watermelon knife and hacked to death Zhan Zhizhi (57 years old), the general manager of the popular cheerleader Ha Zhiyuan's agency, in a supermarket on August 4 last year. The National Court of the Taichung District Court held an intensive trial this week. His ex-girlfriend "Alyssa" was a sex act before he tried to teach him a lesson, but they couldn't even provide evidence as to who this person was. Zhan Nan's family members suspected that it was related to a debt dispute involving a $5 million cashier's check they had been set up to sign when they were doing business in China, and they hoped to plead guilty to murder. The National Judge's Court pronounced its verdict this afternoon, rejecting his motive and admitting that his methods were cruel. He was sentenced to 18 years for injury resulting in death. He can appeal.

According to an investigation by the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office, Huang drove his friend surnamed Kang (54 years old) from Wanhua, Taipei, to Fengyuan, Taichung in the early morning of August 4 last year. He saw Zhan Zhizhi entering the supermarket to make purchases at about 10 a.m., and was waiting at the door. When Zhan Nan walked out of the supermarket door, he stepped forward to push Zhan Nan and sprayed pepper water on Zhan Nan's face.

When Zhan Zhizhi saw this, he took the opportunity to hide back in the supermarket. Huang Man chased him in, took out a hidden watermelon knife from his bag, slashed Zhan's left hand and left foot twice, and then drove away. Zhan Nan was sent to Fengyuan Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare for rescue. However, at 11:30 that day, he died of massive blood loss due to a ruptured aorta in his left foot. The prosecutor charged Huang Nan with death by injury.

The National Judge's Court of the Taichung District Court held trials for three consecutive days this week. The prosecutor reminded Mr. Zhan's wife of Xiao's transcript. Xiao's daughter said that when her husband went to China for business many years ago, she was suspected of being tricked into signing a promissory note for US$5 million, which was converted into about NT$150 million. Although the case was successfully litigated in China, the creditor named Jiang still had people come to his home to collect debts. Regarding Mr. Huang's claim that he was retaliating for harassing his ex-girlfriend, Ms. Xiao said that this was not the case and suspected that the hacking was related to the $5 million debt.

Mr. Huang claimed that his Thai ex-girlfriend "Alyssa" was harassed by Mr. Jan and cried to him that he could not protect her, so he taught him a lesson. He also said that the two met once every 2 to 3 months and had sex, but there was no contact record. Because he could never tell who the "ex-girlfriend" was, even the judge questioned him. Wouldn't it be weird to drive his current girlfriend's car to avenge his ex-girlfriend?

The litigation attorney for Zhan Nan's family believes that Huang Nan has been lying from beginning to end and made up the person "Alyssa". He believes that the case is not simple and the mastermind should be found.

Huang Xiangyuan admitted that he was guilty of causing injury to death, but only disputed the sentence. Zhan Zhizhi's family believed that he should be charged with homicide. The people's judge issued the verdict this afternoon. Huang Xiangyuan's motive for venting his anger on his ex-girlfriend was not accepted. Moreover, because of the brutal means and the aggravation of being a repeat offender, he was sentenced to 18 years for causing injury. He can appeal.
