A 24-year-old soldier surnamed Qiu from Kinmen returned to Taichung for the Lunar New Year this year. A conflict broke out with his same-sex spouse surnamed Chen, who was 2 years older than him. He strangled him to death by "naked hanging". He stayed with the body for three days before surrendering. He was charged with domestic violence and homicide and was detained until Today, the Taichung District Court recently held a court hearing and found that Qiu Nan had searched for "possible defense reasons" on the Internet after the murder. He was obviously afraid of crime and had a mentality of destroying evidence. It ruled that starting from November 18, his detention would be extended for a second time for two months, and he could protest.

At about 10 o'clock in the evening on New Year's Eve on February 16 this year, a physical conflict broke out between Qiu Nan and Chen Nan over a suspected relationship issue. During the process, Qiu Nan lost control of his emotions. He hugged Chen Nan from behind and pushed him to the ground. He then tightly strangled Chen Nan's neck with his right arm and fixed his body with the other hand to apply force, forming a chokehold similar to the mixed martial arts "naked choke". The force continued to compress the neck, causing Chen Nan to suffocate to death.

What’s even more shocking is that after Chen Nan’s death, Qiu Nan stayed with the body for three days before reporting the crime. The police immediately rushed to the scene and found that Chen Nan was obviously dead. This New Year’s Eve murder case came to light. In June this year, prosecutors charged Qiu Nan with domestic violence and homicide. The whole case was handed over to the National Court for trial, and Qiu Nan has been detained to this day.

Qiu Nan's original detention period was extended once and will expire on November 17. The Taichung District Court held another hearing on the 4th. The judge believed that Qiu Nan was involved in a serious homicide and did not call the police as late as 3 days after the incident. He was afraid of crime and avoiding criminal responsibility. More importantly, Qiu Nan searched online for "possible defense grounds" in this case after admitting to committing the crime, which showed that he knew in advance how to defend himself.

In addition, Qiu Nan’s understanding of the cause of death of the deceased was still different from the relevant evidence. The court believed that the risk of annihilating evidence could not be ruled out. In addition, the crime of murder was a felony and there was a possibility of escape. It ruled that the detention would be extended for a second time for 2 months starting from November 18, and he could still protest.
