On the way home in the early morning of the 8th, a 38-year-old nurse surnamed Chen in Taichung was hit by a Mercedes Benz driven by a 30-year-old man surnamed Lin at the intersection of Yanuchuan East Road and Minquan Road. He even turned back and was run over again to death. Lin argued that he was dissatisfied because he thought Chen was "laughing at him" when he passed by her. After seeing the monitor, relatives and friends of the deceased angrily commented that they "didn't catch the eye at all." Lin is currently being detained by the court.
It is understood that before the incident, Mr. Lin got off his car to smoke near Yanagawa. During this period, he briefly passed by Ms. Chen. He argued that when he saw Ms. Chen smiling, he mistook her for laughing at "being targeted" and was emotionally stimulated. Later, he drove his car into Ms. Chen who was walking on a zebra crossing, which was even more shocking. What is surprising is that Lin did not stop immediately after knocking down Chen. Instead, he continued to drive forward and returned to the scene, running over Chen again. It is suspected that he was worried that Chen was not dead and might incur huge liability for compensation in the future, so he took subsequent actions. However, the relevant statements still need to be further clarified by the prosecutors.
Chen's relatives and friends recently posted on social media and clarified in the form of a "solemn statement" that the family had checked the monitors and believed that Chen was walking on the zebra crossing normally, and that Lin directly hit him from behind. Not only did the suspect not stop to rescue him, but he continued to drive straight forward and even turned around and was crushed twice. The two parties did not interact as Lin claimed. They stressed that they had fully watched the monitor screen, and Chen did not make eye contact with Lin at all at that time.
He believed that Lin Nan's claims of "being ridiculed" and "being targeted" were inconsistent with the images seen by his family members. The relevant statements were a secondary injury to the family members who had lost their loved ones. Relatives and friends also questioned that Lin Nan did not surrender immediately after the accident, but drove back to Chiayi and surrendered about two hours later. In addition to calling on the outside world not to believe the perpetrator's one-sided statement, he also asked netizens to stop spreading unconfirmed information and help forward this statement to give justice to his sister and her family.
