A man surnamed Li has been arrested and admitted to killing his adoptive grandmother because she refused to give him money. Her family said the old woman treated the suspect as her own, and cannot imagine something like this can happen.
The two men had just finished ordering a meal outside the barbecue restaurant. Within a few minutes, police officers suddenly stopped their car and arrested the man in gray.
After being suppressed and handcuffed by the police, the man was questioned on the whereabouts of the stolen money. He didn't want to say a word. This man surnamed Li is suspected of murdering his adopted grandmother in New Taipei City's Xinzhuang the day before.
Citizen："(Ordering) He just finished. And all of a sudden, he was arrested. I was wondering what was going on."
The homicide occurred around 4pm on the 21st. The suspect appeared at the old woman's residence in Xinzhuang but left in a hurry after a while. The old woman's daughter-in-law broke her door when she couldn't contact her by phone. Upon entering the house, she discovered her mother-in-law had multiple stab wounds and was no longer breathing.
Victim's Daughter-in-law："My mom cherished him because she raised his childhood. How could you think something like this can happen?"
Although there is no blood relationship, the victim's family said the old grandmother treated Li as her own. They found that his behavior during adolescence was erratic. He was previously kicked out of his adopted family for stealing money and returned to his original family. However, he would come back sporadically to ask for money. Recently the old grandma's youngest son brought him back as an apprentice, but the police said that the suspect murdered the old woman because she didn't give him money when he asked.
Cheng Wei-hao, Investigation Team Captain, New Taipei Police Xinzhuang Precinct："The old grandma refused after he asked to borrow money. That's why he killed her. It's incredible that he can be so calm after committing the murder."
The suspect was extremely calm after his arrest. Even the police were surprised. They pointed out that the suspect confessed that he committed the crime because he lacked money and she refused to give him any. Police found the cash at his home. The suspect escaped to his friend's house in Hualien after the murder. He carefully changed clothes and taxis to evade the police during the process. The suspect was transferred to prosecutors for the crimes of robbery and murder. Details of the case and the amount of money stolen remain to be investigated and clarified.
兩名男子在燒烤店外，才剛點完餐，不到幾分鐘，有名員警巡邏經過，卻突然停下車，當場逮捕這名灰衣男子。
被警方壓制上銬，詢問贓款流向，他就是不願清楚交代，而這名男子，就是前一天在新北新莊，疑似涉嫌殺害阿嬤後，竊款逃逸的李姓養孫。
民眾表示：「（點餐)講好而已。突然碰，被抓了，我想說，到底什麼事。」
凶殺案就發生在21號下午4點多，李姓嫌犯出現在新北新莊老婦人住處，過一陣子就匆忙離開，而老婦人媳婦聯絡不上人，更發現家門反鎖，心急破門後，看到的卻是婆婆身上多處刀傷，已經沒有呼吸心跳。
死者媳婦表示：「就老人家比較珍惜感情，從小帶到大的，怎麼會想到他會這樣。」
雖然沒有血緣關係，但死者家屬說，老阿嬤一手帶大李姓養孫，視如己出，但他青春期行為偏差，曾經因為偷錢被趕出家門、回原生家庭，不時會回來討錢，最近老阿嬤小兒子心軟，把他帶回來當學徒，沒想到，警方表示，嫌犯又因要錢不成，痛下殺機。
新北新莊警分局偵查隊長 鄭偉豪表示：「他開口借錢之後，老阿嬤還是一口回絕，就讓他痛下殺手。對犯嫌犯下這麼令人髮指的案件，還能如此冷靜，感到不可思議。」
嫌犯落網後，異常冷靜，就連員警也感到不可思議，而警方指出，嫌犯供稱因為缺錢花用，討錢不成，才會犯案，並搜光家中現金，搭車逃到花蓮網友家躲藏，途中還變裝、換計程車，躲避查緝，這回，殺害有養育之恩的阿嬤，被警方依強盜殺人罪，移送檢方偵辦，至於，詳細案情和竊款金額，都還有待調查釐清。
