In January last year, the head of a gigolo club in Taichung City, surnamed Li, was dissatisfied with the 22-year-old gigolo surnamed Wang who often asked customers to pay back and owed NT$600,000. He teamed up with an employee surnamed Wu to beat Wang, causing Wang to suffer a cerebral hemorrhage and die in the hospital for 5 days. Li later deleted the surveillance camera footage in the store to destroy the evidence. Today (27th), the Taichung District Court sentenced Li to 12 years in prison and Wu to 11 years in prison for the crime of injury and death, which can be appealed.

The prosecutors and police investigated that 27-year-old Li was the head of a private hostel on Zhongqing Road in the North District. His accomplice, a 25-year-old Wu, was his employee. The deceased Wang also worked as a host under him. During his tenure, he often let customers buy on credit, accumulating more than 600,000 yuan in credit. Li agreed to Wang to sign a promissory note of more than 5 million yuan as a guarantee.
On January 12, 2024, in order to collect debts, Li ordered Wu to take Wang back to the hostel. Unsatisfied with Wang’s excuse to delay the debt, they teamed up to punch and kick Wang, causing him to have a cerebral hemorrhage and fall into a coma. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Li and others called Wang’s father to the scene and notified 119 to send Wang to the hospital, but he was still seriously injured and died after 5 days of hospitalization.
The case was concluded by the Taichung District Court. This morning, Li was sentenced to 12 years and Wu 11 years for the crime of injury causing death. Appeal is allowed.
