Taiwan man arrested after Thai girlfriend’s body found in freezer

A 43-year-old Taiwanese man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his 36-year-old Thai girlfriend and storing her body in a freezer at his workplace in Taichung, Taiwan. The suspect, surnamed Wu, was arrested on 20 September after Taipei police investigating the woman’s disappearance traced him to Taichung and found her body in a freezer at his workplace.

The woman, identified by local media as Arth, met Wu while he was travelling in Thailand and they had been in a long-distance relationship for about a year, with each travelling between Taiwan and Thailand to visit the other. Police said the woman travelled to Taiwan on 2 September to end the relationship, but her family lost contact with her, and Taiwanese friends reported her missing to police on 8 September.
