Chang Hong-jia, a man from Changhua, Taiwan, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Taiwan High Court for murdering his cohabiting girlfriend and suffocating his own twin baby boys in a washing machine. Chang was dissatisfied with his girlfriend working in a hotel to support the family and killed her after she returned home, then stuffed their twin infants in a washing machine. The case, which occurred in 2019, saw Chang convicted twice and the sentence reduced to life imprisonment in a retrial. Despite expressing remorse, the relatives demand a harsher punishment as Chang has shown no empathy towards the victims, engaging in leisure activities after the heinous crime. The ruling revealed Chang's troubled childhood and family environment, but emphasized his acknowledgement of guilt and willingness to undergo rehabilitation programs, leading to the life imprisonment sentence. The article includes a reminder to reject all forms of violence and seek help if needed.
