Discuss the 250,000 yuan Wufeng Bone Murder Case! "10 seconds each time" repeated strangulation to death, the murderer confessed in court

Last year, a horrifying bone murder case was reported in Wufeng, Taichung. In order to recover a debt of 250,000 yuan, a 31-year-old Hong man strangled his 49-year-old former colleague surnamed Li in a car and abandoned his body in the car after the negotiation broke down. The National Judge's Court of the Taichung District Court held preparatory procedures on the 12th. Hong man pleaded guilty in court. The follow-up of the whole case will focus on the time when the murder intention was created and whether Article 59 of the Criminal Law can be used to commute the sentence with mercy. A formal trial will be held at a scheduled date.

After investigation, Hong Nan has lent money to Li Nan one after another since April 2025, totaling 250,000 yuan. Due to the urgent need for money, he repeatedly asked for money but has not been repaid. On September 14 of the same year, he made an appointment with Li Nan to come forward for negotiation. Before attending the appointment, Hong Nan went to a hypermarket in Changhua to buy items such as scout ropes, plastic wrap, hammers, and masks. Then he took a car driven by Li Nan to a remote mountainous area in Wufeng District, Taichung City.

At about 7 o'clock that night, the two were negotiating in the car. Hong Nan thought that Li Nan had no sincerity in repaying the money, so he took out a scout rope to tie the other person's hands and feet, covered his eyes with a blindfold in the car, and wrapped his eyes, mouth and nose with plastic wrap. Then he got out of the car and went to the back seat, put the scout rope around Li Nan's neck, put his feet against the back of the seat and pulled hard backwards, and strangled him repeatedly "for about 10 seconds each time" until it was confirmed that Li Nan had lost breathing and reflexes.

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Hong Nan took Li Nan's body out of the car and pushed it down the slope of the valley about 5 meters deep. It was not until 2 o'clock in the afternoon on October 25 of the same year that people went fishing in the nearby mountains and smelled a strong stench. They were shocked to find an almost skeletal body in the grass in the valley. They were frightened and quickly called the police. Eventually, Hong Nan was arrested. After investigation, the prosecutor charged him with murder.

The National Judge's Court of the Taichung District Court conducted preparatory procedures yesterday. Hong Nan confessed to the crime in court. The presiding judge organized the direction of the subsequent trial. First, he must clarify when Hong Nan had the intention to kill, and whether the crime met the commutation requirements of Article 59 of the Criminal Law, which states that the criminal circumstances are excusable. These two major issues will become the key to the subsequent trial and sentencing by the National Judge.
