it was reported that a former Taipei County senior high school teacher, Tseng Si-ru, had been sentenced to death in the past week for killing a female colleague, surnamed Ho. According to the court, in 2002 Ho caught Tseng breaking and entering her apartment. Tseng got hold of a dumbbell, hit Ho with it and, despite the latter's plea for mercy, used a knife he was carrying to slash her neck. He then turned on the gas to leave her to die. Tseng then attempted to make the death of Ho look like a suicide, but bloodstains at the scene of the crime led the police to him. Tseng was given seven death sentences, which were upheld by the Supreme Court.
