The suspect in the 4-year-old Kangjian Biotech death case tried his best to escape. The family members of the deceased cried out: The child was only 5 years old at the time and looked for his mother every day.

Li Hongyuan, the suspect in the Nantou Kangjian Biotechnology shooting case in 2022, committed four deaths and injured one. After the Supreme Court revoked the death penalty and sent the case back for a new trial, the Taichung High Court still sentenced three to death in the first instance. The case was appealed again, and the Supreme Court opened today. Li Nan advocated access to the review records to investigate whether the previous trials were consistent with the "unanimous verdict" of eight death sentences in the 113-year-old constitution, and requested mental and legal evaluation. The family members of the deceased cried in court, and their children still cried because they missed their late mother. The judge announced that the next court date will be mid-January next year and informed that the entire case is awaiting review.
