A Taiwanese man was arrested on Thursday (May 18) for decapitating his sister in front of horrified neighbours, a week after another killer was jailed for beheading a three-year-old girl in the street, AFP reported.
Many people have been left shocked by the brutal crime. It was gathered that the 54-year-old man, identified by his family name Lin, beheaded his sister with a kitchen knife outside their home in southern Kaohsiung city after an argument, police said.
Lin and his sister, 52, were both unmarried and lived together in southern Kaohsiung city. He had been taking care of the mentally-ill woman for many years, police added.
"She was supposed to go to the hospital this morning and they quarrelled when she refused. Lin then attacked her with a kitchen knife and severed her neck," an officer said.
According to local television report, an eyewitness is quoted as saying the woman had knelt and pleaded for her life while neighbours screamed when they saw her severed head on the pavement.
