The prosecutors and police investigators found out that the man surnamed Guo had a relationship with his girlfriend Huang Gege (52 years old). On the night of the fire, half an hour after she left the city by bicycle, the room where she and Guo made tea burst into flames. The locomotive exploded and the entire building was engulfed in flames.

In addition, according to the appraisal report of the fire department, the fire started on the sofa in the room, and Huang Nv usually had the bad habit of dumping the incense. He was prosecuted for homicide and public danger and sentenced to death, but was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprivation of public rights for life by the Kaohsiung District Court, and appealed according to law.

During the trial of the Kaohsiung Higher Branch Court, as Huang’s detention period was about to expire, the collegial panel judges believed that the crime she committed was the least of the crimes, and the original sentence was more than 5 years. In addition, the circumstances involved in the case were serious and there was a risk of fleeing. Day extension of detention for 2 months, can be protested.
