美國中國研究生涉嫌毒害越南同學:大學與受害者家屬怎麼說?

Quick Look

懷俄明大學一名中國籍研究生王艾莉涉嫌在辦公室咖啡機中投放神經毒劑丙烯醯胺,毒害越南籍同學K.T.,導致其出現疲倦、食慾不振及睡眠欠佳等健康問題。王艾莉於10月6日在洛杉磯國際機場被捕,目前被羈押不得保釋,面臨加重傷害重罪指控。受害者家屬表示其健康狀況仍未恢復,校方強調目前僅屬指控階段,任何人應被視為無罪直至法院裁決。

Why It Matters

懷俄明大學一名中國籍研究生王艾莉涉嫌在辦公室咖啡機中投放神經毒劑丙烯醯胺,毒害越南籍同學K.T.,導致其出現健康問題。王艾莉於10月6日在洛杉磯國際機場被捕,目前被羈押不得保釋,面臨加重傷害重罪指控。

美國懷俄明大學(University of Wyoming)一名越南籍研究生的家屬表示,受害人在辦公室咖啡機內發現神經毒劑後,至今仍出現疲倦、食慾不振及睡眠欠佳等健康問題。

懷俄明大學表示,校內一名研究生因涉嫌使用某種物質傷害一名同實驗室同事,被控加重傷害重罪(felony aggravated assault and battery)。

主修微生物學的32歲中國籍女研究生王艾莉(Aili Wang;音譯),於10月6日在洛杉磯國際機場被捕。此前,她因涉嫌毒害一名越南籍同事而接受調查,當時正試圖離開美國。

王艾莉被指於今年年中兩度透過 eBay 購買化學品丙烯醯胺(acrylamide),其後要求平台刪除其帳戶。

之後,她被懷疑將上述神經毒物混入一名越南籍研究生的咖啡機中。該名研究生在法庭文件中被標示為「K.T.」。

執法人員在洛杉磯國際機場拘捕她時,檢取了其手提電腦、電子儲存裝置及手寫文件。

根據法庭文件,王艾莉於10月5日接受校園警察盤問時聲稱,自己「已有多年未使用丙烯醯胺」。

一天後,即10月6日,王艾莉在機場被捕。檢察官指控她當時正試圖返回中國。

截至10月13日,王艾莉仍被羈押於洛杉磯,不得保釋候審。

懷俄明大學市場推廣及傳訊副校長查德·鮑德溫(Chad Baldwin)在發給BBC越南語(BBC News Vietnamese)的電郵中表示,相關指控已於上星期提交至奧爾巴尼縣巡迴法院(Albany County Circuit Court),此前懷俄明大學警察局(University of Wyoming Police Department, UWPD)已完成調查。

UWPD 的調查結果已移交奧爾巴尼縣檢察官辦公室,由該辦公室正式提出控罪。

與此同時,校方亦正進行學生紀律程序。

不過,懷俄明大學強調,目前仍僅屬指控階段。任何人在法院作出有罪裁決前,均應被視為無罪。

「異常苦澀的味道」

受害人的姐姐在越南接受BBC採訪時表示,其弟弟自8月起飲用辦公室內咖啡機沖泡、帶有「異常苦澀味道」的咖啡後,開始出現健康問題。

她說:「喝了幾天咖啡後,他出現身體疲倦、手腳骨頭疼痛、無法進食和睡眠等症狀,曾就醫檢查但未能查出病因,之後經化驗才得知原因。」

她表示,K.T. 有每天喝咖啡的習慣,而咖啡機設於他的實驗室內,因此主要由他使用及飲用。

姐姐表示:「那位同學(王艾莉)因為一起做研究,可以自由進出實驗室。」

一名化學教授在水樣中發現丙烯醯胺。這種化學物質在高劑量接觸下可能具有毒性。

其後,懷俄明大學校園警察在兩人工作的辦公室安裝監控攝影機。警方表示,9月27日拍攝到王艾莉翻查受害人的辦公桌。

到了10月1日,監控畫面再次顯示她拍照、翻動桌上的筆記本,並將自己杯中的液體倒入同事的杯中。

調查人員亦指控她曾兩度透過 eBay 購買丙烯醯胺,並在事後試圖要求平台刪除其帳戶。

直接指導 K.T. 與王艾莉的微生物學教授馬克·戈梅爾斯基(Prof Mark Gomelsky)向美聯社表示,受害人是一名表現非常出色的學生。

家屬表示,K.T. 於2022年獲博士獎學金赴美深造,此前曾就讀河內理工大學,並在韓國(南韓)攻讀碩士學位。

這名越南籍研究生的研究項目獲美國聯邦政府資助,並正等待一項涉及癌症、神經疾病及遺傳病治療新技術的專利批准。

根據調查文件,王艾莉在赴美前亦曾於中國從事類似研究。

戈梅爾斯基教授在回覆BBC電郵時表示:「這對我而言是一段可怕且難以置信的經歷,尤其對受害人及其家人更是如此。」

此前,戈梅爾斯基教授向美聯社表示,王艾莉首次論文答辯未獲通過,而對同事成功發現利用細菌將核糖核酸(RNA)導入人體細胞的方法,可能產生嫉妒心理。

戈梅爾斯基教授亦表示,自6月起,王艾莉已不再參與實驗室工作,以專注完成論文。

姐姐亦表示,目前受害人仍受到健康問題困擾,「身體依然感到疲憊、食慾不振,而且睡不好」。

戈梅爾斯基教授向美聯社表示:「丙烯醯胺是一種神經毒物,無法被中和,因此會留存在神經細胞中並導致其死亡。所以,目前仍不清楚他是否能完全康復。」

丙烯醯胺是一種可能致癌的物質,可在高溫烹調富含澱粉的食物時形成,也存在於煙草煙霧中。

該物質在高劑量下可引起急性中毒,亦可用於涉及蛋白質或 DNA 的微生物研究。

接下來會怎樣?

王艾莉面臨加重傷害重罪指控;該罪名在懷俄明州最高可判處10年監禁及罰款1萬美元(6.69萬元人民幣;32.45萬元新台幣)。

目前尚不清楚王艾莉何時會被押解回懷俄明州。奧爾巴尼縣法院法官羅伯特·桑福德(Judge Robert Sanford)已批准檢方要求,將保釋金由20萬美元提高至150萬美元,且須以現金繳納。

在回覆BBC的置評請求電郵中,查德·鮑德溫引述懷俄明大學校長尚恩·里夫斯(Shane Reeves)的聲明表示,校方「嚴肅看待所有涉及校園社群健康與安全的問題,並致力為學生、教師、員工及訪客維持安全及受保障的環境」。

Taiwan and the U.S. teamed up to crack down on a yacht transporting drugs worth 4.5 billion yuan

Taiwan and the U.S. jointly achieve great results in anti-drug operations! The Southern Regional Mobile Work Station of the Bureau of Investigation received information from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and learned that a batch of ketamine was about to be transported to Taiwan. After many months of surveillance, the investigation found that the yacht "Emperor's Poetry" was transporting 1,500 kilograms of ketamine with a market value of more than NT$4.5 billion off the coast of Kaohsiung. The Coast Guard sent a ship to successfully intercept the vessel, and successfully arrested the captain, Chen Yongheng, and five others. The Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office investigated and prosecuted the yacht for drug and other crimes.
