He Suspected His Mother was Trying to Injure Him, Used a Total of Eight Different Weapons, Murdered Her

Dangers of these psychiatric patients, running “loose” in the world here!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

In August, He Was Forced into Treatment, Last Month He’d Ranted that He Wanted to Go Home, the Silence as He Was Arrested, His Father, “I’m Helpless Over All of This”.

The man from Tainan, Lee who’d been diagnosed with schizophrenia, in the midnight hours of yesterday suspected his mother would harm him, he’d taken the hammer, fruit knife, the lights, along with a total of eight weapons, beaten his mother to severe injuries, she was rushed to the hospital, but died; Lee’s hands were covered in blood when he was arrested, the district attorneys of Tainan D.A.’s Office after interrogating him, asked the courts to mandate his custody, because of flight risk, and on the charges of murdering his own next-of-kin.

Based off of investigation, Lee (age 30) had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, with histories of being treated, his mother (age 52) looked after him, as the murder occurred, only she and Lee were on the first floor, his father was in bed asleep on the third floor, Lee was never violent, and in August of this year, he’d lost control, and shattered the dishes, injured his mother’s foot, was forced into the psych ward; but as he was in the facilities, he’d ranted everyday how he wanted to go home, Lee’s mother felt bad leaving him there, so she took him home at the end of September, and in less than a month, tragedy occurred, Lee’s father in the police station, said sorrowfully, that he’d felt, “helpless”.

The murder happened in a new community in Tainan, Lee lives with his parents, his father was a small-time contractor, they’re, well-to-do.  Two evenings ago, Lee and his mother argued for re3ason, and he’d picked up a hammer, fruit knife, scissors, and the light fixtures, and other items, started attacking his own mother, Lee’s mother tried to escape out the back, and was dragged by him and hacked at, the neighbors heard her screams and called the police.

The Tainan Jiali Police Substation sent officers to the scene immediately, they found Chen severely injured, blood was everywhere, Lee’s hand, covered in blood, and was found, dumbfounded there, the paramedics rushed Chen to the E.R., where she’d died after they worked hard to resuscitate him; after Lee was arrested, he’d claimed that he suspected that his mother was trying to harm him, that was why he’d, murdered her, but most of the time in the interrogations, he’d, fallen, silent, couldn’t tell the officers exactly what happened in the process of murdering his own mother.

During the murder, Lee’s father was asleep, he’d only heard the dog bark, didn’t pay any attention to what was happening downstairs in his home, until the neighbors called the police, that’s when he’d found what had happened.  The families pointed out, that in Lee’s college years, he’d started having the symptoms, and was hospitalized, and as he became more stabilized, they’d taken him home.  During the time of the murder, he was emotionally unstable, and couldn’t tell the police what happened.

The district attorneys stated, that the injuries of the victim were mostly on the head, neck, and thorax, on the upper torsos, and because there were more than one place she was injured, by examining the external injuries, the coroner believed, that the woman was hacked to death by multiple weapons, and because there were many surface and deep injuries on the victim, it was hard to determine, which one of the injuries had, caused her death, the coroner’s set another date for the autopsy.  The district attorneys also worried over the suspect’s mental condition, and told the police, that if there’s need, force him into hospitalization, and the police are on duty, ready to send Lee to the hospital.

And so, this, is how murder occurred here, because this man’s schizophrenia was left untreated, and, he has the persecutory delusion, that his mother was out to get him, and, he’d, acted on that delusion, and murdered her.  This still just showed, how necessary hospitalization is, for these severe cases of mentally ill patients.
