Wife Kills Abusive Husband; Children Plead for Leniency in Sentencing

Reported about 1 year ago

In a tragic incident in Changhua in 2022, a 69-year-old woman surnamed Wu finally had enough of the long-term domestic abuse by her husband surnamed Chen, who even threatened, 'If I kill you, I'll only be imprisoned for 4 months.' In response, she strangled Chen to death with an electrical cord. The Changhua District Court initially sentenced her to 3 years in prison for murder, but the Taichung High Court overturned the decision, deeming it justifiable homicide due to the husband's atrocious behavior. With all three children pleading for leniency, the court changed the verdict to 2 years with a suspended sentence of 4 years, allowing for appeal.
