This woman, finally HAD enough, of her own father’s physical abuse, and, killed him, family tragedy, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
The woman, Hou, who was registered as a handicapped person, couldn’t withstand how his father got drunk, and had, long-term, physically abused her mother and her family, at the start of the year, she’d stepped up to him, he’d, beaten her up, she’d, lost it, and, picked up the broken pieces of glass from the shattered bottles, and started, stabbing her father until he’d died; the Kaohsiung District Court believed that she had reasons to do what she’d done, that she’d, lost her judgment at the time of the stabbing, and, found her guilty of involuntary manslaughter of one’s own kin, sentenced her to ten years of prison, the case can be appealed.
The verdict pointed out, that Hou (age 64) has a son and three daughters with his wife, because he didn’t have a stable job, and was a drunk, and had beaten his wife and children up because he was drunk, or because they refused to give him any money, or used ashtray, or hard things, to smash his families with. Hou’s wife was hospitalized because of it for three months. Their son testified, “My father beats us like he were, beating down animals!”; Hou’s older brother also testified, that even if he’d beaten someone to the ground, he’d still, grabbed the person by the hair, and kept beating.
Hou (age 39), who’s the third child in the family, had a hard time finding a job, due to her disability, still lived with her parents; on the night of January 4th last year at around ten, Hou got violent with his wife, because the cable T.V. channels didn’t work, as his daughter stepped between him from beating his own wife, she was, slapped by him, beaten, kicked, and he’d, chased her with an electric fan too, she was, beaten to the ground, suddenly, she’d, lost it, and picked up the broken glass from the tea stand of about 26 centimeters, and stabbed her own father on the chest, and the back of his left shoulders, he’d died, on the way to the hospital.
The Collectivist Courts believed, that as it’d happened, Hou was in immediate danger, she’d picked up the broken glass, to defend herself, but it’d, caused her father to die, they’d considered that she’d shown signs of PTSD, that she was in a state of diminished capacity, they’d, reduced her sentence.
And this still just showed, how if you’d been abused long-term, it’s, only a matter of time that you’d, cracked, and, this family’s not reporting the abuse to the police just, made the father think he could keep on, beating his children and wife up, and, this handicapped woman finally snapped, and this is still, a build up, from years, and years, and years on end.
Imagine that if it were you, being physically abused for so long, how can you, NOT lose control???
