[Reporter Zhang Wenchuan/Taipei Report] A 40-year-old man surnamed Chen wanted to get back together with his ex-girlfriend surnamed Ye, who had just broken up for 4 months, but was refused. He held Kaishan on the street. The knife chased and slashed Ye Nv. Ye Nv was injured and ran to a nearby soy milk shop for help. The police arrived to suppress Chen Nan and send him off. Ye Nv had multiple stab wounds on her body. After being sent to the hospital for first aid, he survived the accident. The Shilin District Prosecutor's Office is now prosecuting Chen Nan on the charge of attempted domestic violence homicide.

The prosecutor’s investigation revealed that Chen Nan and Ye Nv broke up in April this year. Chen Nan sent a message that he hoped to get back together, and his words were threatening. He also went to Ye Nv’s work place to stop people for negotiation. Ye Nv reported the case to the Haishan Police Station in New Taipei City on August 26. Suffering from domestic violence, he applied for a temporary protection order, but the court has not yet issued it. On the 29th of the same month, he was ambushed by Chen Nan in Nangang.

On the morning of the incident, Chen Nan parked his car at Sanchong Road next to Nangang Software Park, and waited near the supermarket at Xinmin Street. When he saw Ye Nv passing by, he got out of the car with a machete at 1 p.m. While running and screaming for help, Chen Nan continued to slash and kill for about a minute. A passerby took an umbrella to stop him, and Ye Nv fled to the soy milk shop across the street.

Chen Nan chased into the store, holding a knife in one hand and restraining Ye Nv's neck in the other. The situation was urgent. Fortunately, the Nangang Police Station was notified and dispatched 3 policemen to arrive in time. He abandoned the knife and then suppressed him and arrested him.

Chen Nan confessed to the murder, but confessed that he did not intend to kill.

However, Ye Nv suffered multiple stab wounds on her left cheek, left abdomen, and both hands. The five fingers of her left hand and the tendons of her right index and middle fingers were cut off. If she hadn't blocked the blade with her palms, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The prosecutor therefore determined that Chen Nan had killed Ye. The woman's intention is to prosecute Chen Nan for attempted murder.
