Debts and monetary matters, surely, ruin a friendship all right! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
He Was Asked to Collect a Debt from an Old Friend, Got into an Altercation, a Shouting Match, Brought a Group of His Friends to Fight, Four were Taken into Police Custody
The thirty-six year-old Hsu was asked, to collect the debts of $580,000N.T. owed by a middle school classmate, Chang, Chang felt that Hsu didn’t save his reputation for him, the two got angry at one another, later, Chang paid up the debts but they’d, already, carried that grudge, broken their friendship for twenty years, and they’d, gone on shouting matches too; three days ago, Hsu had a group of his friends to get even with Chang, the seven men hacked Chang to death, and were all charged on murder, the district attorney asked the courts to take in four of the assailants including Hsu.
The police investigated, that Hsu and the thirty-five-year-old Chang were middle school classmates, both live in Sanchong District of Hsinbei City, they’d been friends since they were children, shared a total of twenty years of friendships together, both had priors in robbery and illegal substances.
Last year, Chang was suspected of having gambling debts, borrowed $580,000N.T. in cash from someone, the debtors couldn’t collect from him, learned that Hsu was a friend of Chang’s, and asked him to help collect the debts.
Hsu agreed, and, called Chang, to remind him to pay up, Chang felt upset that his friend had, called him up to get him pay for what he’d owed to the other man, they got on each other’s bad side, and became enemies since.
At seven in the evening of the 26th of last month, Hsu took along six others on two cars, to Chang’s to pick a fight with him, Chang came out to the confrontations, they started fighting, Chang was ganged up on, sustained multiple stabs, and fell in his own pool of blood.
The police rushed over, arrested Hsu and the twenty-eight-year-old Wang, with the rest of the suspects at large; after Chang was taken into hospital, he’d sustained at least two stabs on his left thorax, left arm, and back, died of severe injuries.
Hsu said he only brought the bat to the scenes, and only wanted to teach Chang a lesson, that Chang was the one, headed home, grabbing a knife to fight back, that in the fight, he took the knife from Chang, and stabbed him.
The five accomplices were caught two days ago one by one, the seven were charged with murder, sent to the Hsinbei D.A.’s office after the police interrogated them, the D.A. believed that Hsu, Wang, and two others are directly involved, had the courts take them into custody, the other three didn’t participate in the murder, and were sent home.
So, this is what you get, for not paying up the debts you owed, and this still showed how these men are low in emotional control, I mean, whatever happened to use your words instead of bringing the weapons? Apparently, these boys still didn’t learn to “play nice” with each other, and, things started escalating, and, resulted in murder.
