Why It Matters

Zhang Jiezong is accused of killing and dismembering his sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang Huang, from November 2024 to February 2025 because she was dissatisfied with her urging her to move out of their residence. Then he successively attacked two women named Zhang and Zhao Lin, and dumped the remains in batches in the Qianzhen river. On June 5 this year, the Kaohsiung District Court’s Civil Judge’s Court found that Zhang Jiezong was guilty of three murders and each was sentenced to death. The death penalty should be executed and he should be deprived of public rights for life. The whole case is currently on appeal for the second instance.

Kaohsiung's "dismemberment monster" Zhang Jiezong is suspected of killing three women in a row. Some of the corpses are still missing. Recently, an angler fishing near the Chenggong Bridge in Qianzhen District suddenly found a package of suspected bones. After days of DNA comparison by prosecutors, it was not ruled out that they were the bones of Zhang's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang Huang.

Zhang Jiezong is accused of killing and dismembering his sister-in-law from November 2024 to February 2025 because he was dissatisfied with her urging her to move out of their residence. Then he successively attacked two women surnamed Zhang and Zhao Lin, and dumped the remains in batches on the river in Qianzhen. , the prosecutor's investigation found that three women entered Zhang Jiezong's residence and then disappeared. The police collected blood stains and DNA from multiple victims in the house, and also seized hammers, scissors, needle-nose pliers and other tools, which became important evidence to identify the crime.

On June 5 this year, the Kaohsiung District Court’s Civil Judge’s Court found that Zhang Jiezong was guilty of three murders and each was sentenced to death. The death penalty should be executed and he should be deprived of public rights for life. The whole case is currently on appeal for the second instance.

The Kaohsiung District Prosecutor's Office stated this morning (9th) that it received a report from the Qianzhen Police Station on the morning of last Friday (6th) that a fisherman found a bag of suspected bones while fishing near Chenggong Bridge in Qianzhen District. The police went to the scene to investigate and collect evidence that there were suspected bones in the plastic bag, and a dumbbell was attached.

Prosecutor Wu Chengyu immediately conducted an examination that day, and prosecutor Lin Hengcui and forensic doctor Pan Zhixin of the Institute of Forensic Medicine conducted an autopsy and collected DNA samples for examination. The forensic center of the Gao City Police Department used the holiday to compare the body without sleep. Currently, the DNA comparison is based on relevant DNA. The DNA of the skeleton does not exclude the possibility that it comes from the victim Zhang Jiezong's murder case, Mrs. Zhang Huang (Zhang's sister-in-law).

Private live broadcasts have been repeatedly exposed, investigated and dealt with, but they still make a comeback. How to cut off the chain of private “magic medicines”?

Unscrupulous merchants exaggerated the efficacy of health products through private domain live broadcasts such as WeChat groups and corporate WeChat to deceive elderly consumers. Some merchants changed their names and continued to operate after being punished. The reporter's investigation found that businesses manipulated the psychological needs of the elderly and established authoritative personas, with mixed truth and falsehoods, and the industrial chain was not cut off, making it difficult to obtain evidence, leading to the resurgence of "miracle drugs". Experts recommend full-chain, cross-regional governance and using “good money” to drive out “bad money”.
