Taiwanese man, 43, allegedly kills Thai girlfriend, 36, after she breaks up with him, stuffs body in suitcase & office freezer

A Taiwanese man, 43-year-old Wu, is accused of murdering his Thai girlfriend, 36, after she ended their year-long relationship, according to Taiwanese media. The alleged incident occurred on September 12 at a hotel in Ximending. The couple had dated for over a year and often traveled to each other's countries to meet. The woman planned to break up with Wu in early August, and they had been seeing each other almost every day from September 2 to September 11.

On the day of the murder, Wu arrived at the hotel with a 30-inch suitcase. The two argued about the breakup, and Wu allegedly lost control of his emotions, strangling the woman before placing her body in the suitcase. He then drove to Taichung with the body. When the woman's family could not reach her, they contacted the police through a friend in Taiwan. Wu was arrested on September 19 after a manhunt.

Upon his arrest, Wu admitted to the authorities that he was unhappy with her decision to break up with him and that he killed her believing there was no hope of reconciliation. The woman's body was discovered in a freezer at Wu's office during the investigation.
