🚨 [Social Case] A late-night snack leads to tragedy! Vietnamese migrant worker stabs fellow countryman to death, first trial sentences 10 years, both parties appeal

A homicide case stemming from a work dispute occurred in Taoyuan, where two Vietnamese migrant workers had a verbal altercation at a mutton hot pot restaurant. They later agreed to meet at a construction site for a discussion, which ultimately led to a tragic death. The case has now entered the second trial stage. 📌 Case Highlights and Latest Developments: Trigger and Conflict: In April 2025, a migrant worker named Hu (HO HUU HUONG) and a fellow countryman named Hua had a dispute over work. They arranged via LINE to meet at a construction site in Bade District for a discussion. During the negotiation, Hua approached with a metal rod, while Hu took out an 18 cm long kitchen knife and stabbed Hua four times in the left chest, causing Hua to succumb to his injuries. First Trial Verdict: After审理 by the Taoyuan District Court's lay judge panel, it was determined that the scene was dark and chaotic, and Hu did not continue the attack after committing the act, making it difficult to ascertain murderous intent. He was ultimately sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for 'inflicting injury resulting in death' and will be deported after serving his sentence. Latest Defense in Second Trial: Both the prosecution and defense are dissatisfied and have appealed. During the High Court hearing on September 2, 2026, Hu's lawyer stated that the defendant is unable to raise compensation funds. The prosecution, using a 'window reflection' captured by surveillance cameras, argued that Hu's clear aggressive actions should be treated as 'murder'; the defense, however, contended that the footage is blurry. The case is expected to continue on September 16. 💡 Editor's Note: It is not easy to leave one's homeland to work hard in Taiwan.
