The motives of the mass suicide in Yenshui is still unclear, but the police said, that the last notes of the four individuals involved did mention suicide, the three men and a woman they met online, Huang went out together, and Huang picked up the tabs on the meals, but afterwards, was accused of fraud, the three men held a grudge; and, the female college student, Liu’s final note mentioned that she feared that her boyfriend may go to jail because of fraud, she’d mentioned about dying together with him, and tied a red ribbon around their hands together, and committed suicide. The D.A. will autopsy the body to get to the cause of death.
The third-year students, Liu, Wu, Wu’s older cousin, Kuo, Kuo’s friend, Wu, two days ago, were found, dead, in Kuo’s family home in Yenshui, Tainan, the police based the evidence on the scene, burned pot of charcoal, the tapes that sealed up the windows and doors, and that there were no signs of struggles, they’d found this to be a mass suicide.
There were, four separate signed notes from Kuo, Liu, Wu, and there was one with ALL four of their signatures on it, it’d become the key evidence that clarified the causes of their deaths.
On the note that was signed by all four, it’d mentioned how the three men had taken Huang, the woman they’d met online, and went out to eat together, but afterward, they’d gotten into argument on who should pay, Huang pressed on for the fraud charges, causing the three men to feel angered, believed that she’d defamed them.
And on their separate final notes, all three stated that they’d wanted to die, one mentioned how he was poor and was looked down on since he was growing up, that the family tried to borrow some rice and was turned down by the close relatives, and told his father to take good care of his mother, and pointed out, “I’m making the right choice”; and someone else had listed out a note on the debts of five thousand to a hundred thousand dollars and wanted the loved ones to help her/him pay it up; toward the case of being sued for fraud, one mentioned how going to hang out, to dine, it wasn’t just paid for by one of the people involved, showed her/his voice of displeasures.
The police investigated, that a little over a year ago, as Kuo was working odds and ends in Taoyuan, he’d met Huang through Facebook, asked her to head south to have some fun, and loaned her $50,000N.T. for spending cash. And afterwards, Kuo and his friends had kept asking Huang to travel, to dine out, and after Huang spent up all of her money, she’d asked her ex to borrow $30,000N.T.s, the ex realized that something wasn’t quite right, and after he’d gotten it out of her, believed that she’d been cheated and scammed, wanted her to go to the Taoyuan Police.
The police, after taking Huang’s statements, called on Kuo and eight others in to clarify things, but the police said, that the fraud case was still pending investigation, they couldn’t understand why on their final notes, they’d spoken of how they suspected that they were set up by Huang, as well as the officers who’d questioned them?
And so, this, is the deaths of four young people, and it was all caused by monetary matters, and that just shows how easily they’d still all cracked, how someone can kill themselves for something so miniscule as monetary matters…
