TAIPEI (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A couple slashed to death by a man living a floor below them in southern Taiwan’s Kaohsiung city were found on Monday (Sept 18) to have suffered 13 stab wounds on their bodies. The murder allegedly unfolded before the pair’s young sons last week.

The incident occurred at around 7.50am on the 14th floor of a residential building in the city’s Wumiao Road last Friday, local police said.
