Human tragedy! A man surnamed Wu from Jinshan District, New Taipei City, rushed into a well-known restaurant on Jinshan Old Street at about 7 pm on the 3rd. He muttered to himself: "I killed my mother." This attracted attention, and the police immediately sent officers to Wu's home to check. When the police arrived, they found that they heard Wu's mother falling to the ground and could not open the door. They urgently called 119 to assist in sending her to the hospital. At about 10 o'clock in the evening, it was reported that Wu's mother had died of serious injuries. After an examination, the prosecutor determined that Wu Nan was involved in the crime of injury causing death, and yesterday evening he applied to the court for permission to be detained.

It is reported that the 50-year-old man surnamed Wu himself suffers from mental illness and lives in the Jinshan area with his mother who has cancer. At about 7 o'clock on the night of the incident, Wu rushed to the restaurant and muttered: "I killed my mother." People present quickly notified the police to the scene. The police immediately took the person back to the residence, but found that the door could not be opened. However, they vaguely heard Wu's mother's weak response from inside the house, saying that she was injured and fell to the ground and could not get up to open the door.

The police quickly contacted 119 and notified their younger son who lived nearby to come to the scene to assist. Later, the younger son's wife arrived at the scene and immediately opened the door, only to see the old mother lying on the ground with vomit and blood stains on her side.

The ambulance personnel initially inspected the appearance of the injured person and found that there were bruises and vomiting on the body. In order to prevent the vomit from blocking the trachea, they first helped clean up the injured person and then sent him to Keelung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The police also found that Mr. Wu's mental condition was extremely unstable and asked the fire department to send another ambulance to take him to the hospital for treatment. However, because his mental condition was very unstable, Mr. Wu did not say a word when questioned by the prosecutor and was unwilling to disclose the situation at the time of the crime.

It is understood that Mr. Wu has been taking psychiatric drugs for a long time. He is suspected of having stopped taking medication recently, causing him to lose control of his mind. He may have pushed her down when he had an argument with his mother. When he saw his mother vomiting blood and fell to the ground, he mistakenly thought he was dead and ran to the restaurant to scream. Wu's mother was older and had suffered from cancer for many years. Her condition was not optimistic. It remains to be clarified whether she was at the end of her life or whether she was attacked by her son and accelerated her death.

The prosecutor conducted a physical examination yesterday afternoon and initially checked the appearance and confirmed that Wu's mother suffered head trauma, which was suspected to have been caused by being beaten or pushed. Follow-up autopsy and medical examination will be arranged to further clarify the case. The prosecutor determined that Wu Nan was involved in the crime of injury resulting in death. Because he was involved in a felony and was in danger of fleeing, he applied to the Keelung District Court for detention yesterday. The court ruled that he should be detained in the evening of the same day.
