Most famous serial rapist/killer in Taiwan,who also kidnapped & killed daughter of famous TV celeb.,is legally murdered
Joe1orbit
It is my sad duty to have to report that the most FAMOUS societal victim
turned criminal predator in the ENTIRE country of Taiwan, has been legally
murdered by his PERVERSE and EVIL society. I am referring to Chen Chin-hsing,
who really got famous after he kidnapped, raped, and then strangled to death,
the 17 year old daughter of a local TV CELEBRITY, after SHE BETRAYED his demand
that she fork over ransom money and NOT notify the police. She DID notify cops,
despite being rich and having enough money to pay the ransom,so in a very real
sense, she is RESPONSIBLE for her daughter's death. Well, no matter what nation
you live in, going after celebrities, or the children of celebrities, and
KILLING them, is one SURE way to get yourself famous. But there is MUCH more to
Chen, who is a well-rounded predator, BOTH a serial rapist AND a serial killer.
Let us take time to recognize Chen's True Reality-based criminal
accomplishments, and mourn & CONDEMN his MURDER, as committed upon him by his
society. We learn that Chen's bodily organs will be DONATED to other people. I
CERTAINLY hope that Chen was given the CHOICE of whether or not he WANTED to
participate in organ donation, and his wishes were RESPECTED. I guess it's KIND
of cool, in a way, to think of the EYES, the HEART, and other organs that came
from a notorious serial killer living on after being transplanted into the
bodies of other people. But it is of course totally USELESS to the kiler
himself, since ALL EXISTENCE as a sentient life form resides solely in the
BRAIN, and since BRAIN TRANSPLANTS are NOT currently being performed, eye and
heart transplantation is of NO benefit to Chen, who sadly ceased to exist for
all of eternity the moment that his brain activity stopped.
Personally, I think that it is probably ALREADY possible to transplant human
brains, from a technological perspective, but this information is being kept
secret, because of all the "moral and ethical" questions that such brain
transplants would raise. But I could be wrong.
Ya gotta give Chen a LOT of credit, despite being identified by name, he
managed to successfully hide out from police for SEVEN MONTHS, after killing
the TV celeb's daughter. And he attacked & killed NUMEROUS other people during
his 7 months as a fugitive, earning the title of genuine serial killer. Sounds
like he committed plenty of other crimes, especially serial RAPE, even before
he decided to grab the limelight with the 1997 kidnapping.
The final article below deals with the debate that Taiwan's resumption of
legal murder, has provoked, especially as regards the ancient "Bandit Law",
that gave the PERVERSE societal leaders of Taiwan permission to murder EIGHT of
their own creations, Chen included, on a single night. Even though it's good
that there is SOME public protest among a FEW of the Superior humans of that
society, the fact that they are ONLY defending the OTHER 7 societal victims,
not Chen, because he has been DEMONIZED to the public more successfully than
the others, shows the PROFOUND hypocrisy of even most legal murder critics.
Rest In Peace, Chen! I hope you felt, deep within your soul, that you had
claimed a decent degree of the limitless vengeace to which you were entitled,
as a victimized creation of your society.
Take care, JOE

Taiwan executes its most notorious criminal
By Michael Kramer
TAIPEI, Oct 6 (Reuters) - Taiwan on Wednesday executed a criminal who shook
public confidence in law and government with the kidnap-murder of a TV
celebrity's daughter and a string of subsequent gun battles, killings, rapes
and a hostage drama.
Local television showed paramedics unloading the body of Chen Chin-hsing at
Taipei county's Chang Gung Hospital, where organs from the murderer who kept an
island in terror for months would be donated.
Guards at Taipei prison could be seen burning incense and paper money soon
after 9.30 p.m. (1330 GMT), signalling that Chen's execution had already taken
place. Taiwan usually carries out the death sentence with a single gunshot.
Taiwan's Supreme Court handed Chen three death sentences for a crime spree that
begin with the April 1997 kidnap and killing of Pai Hsiao-yen, daughter of
television star Pai Ping-ping and Japanese comic book artist Ikki Kajiwara.
The 17-year old girl's murder -- fast on the heels of the unsolved
gangland-style killings of a county chief and seven associates, the
assassination of an opposition leader, and other shocking crimes -- sparked the
biggest street protests in Taiwan's history as citizens sensed social order
collapsing.
Serial rapist Chen eluded a massive police dragnet for seven months, prompting
the embattled Nationalist government to order shakeups of the justice system
and cabinet in hopes of placating public outrage.
Taiwan's chief of police and minister of the interior both resigned to take
responsibility for the case, which was covered daily by a transfixed local
media.
While on the run, Chen killed a Taipei plastic surgeon, his nurse and his wife
after a member of his gang forced the doctor to alter the fugitive's
appearance.
After two of Chen's accomplices were killed by police in a gun battle, he ended
his exploits by surrendering to police after holding a South African embassy
official and his family hostage for 24 hours in November 1997.
Local television broadcast the standoff at the official's home live as Chen
gave lengthy telephone interviews, presenting himself as a tragic hero who
committed his crimes reluctantly.
Pai Ping-ping said Chen's execution would do nothing to ease to pain of losing
her daughter.
``This comes as no comfort to all the people violated by him,'' Pai told cable
television station TVBS. ``I only wish that I could see him walk toward that
moment in his life.''
Pai Hsiao-yen was kidnapped on her way to school on April 14, 1997 and was
found floating in a river after the kidnappers aborted a meeting with her
mother when they found she had notified police. The girl had been molested and
strangled.
Chen donated his heart, lungs, kidneys and corneas to hospitals.

Taiwan executes murderer of cartoonist Kajiwara's child
Kyodo News Service
TAIPEI, Oct. 6 (Kyodo) - Taiwan on Wednesday executed by firing squad Chen
Chin-hsing, who has been convicted of several rapes, kidnappings and murders,
including the kidnap-murder of the teenage daughter of television celebrity Pai
Ping-ping, officials said.
In April 1997, Chen and accomplices Lin Chun-sheng and Kao Tien-min kidnapped
and later beat to death 17-year-old Pai Hsiao-yen.
The kidnap-murder, which triggered massive public outrage as the culprits
managed to evade arrest for months despite several encounters with police, also
drew attention in Japan because the girl was Pai's only child from her
short-lived marriage with the late Japanese cartoonist Ikki Kajiwara.
The high-profile case also forced Vice President Lien Chan to resign from his
concurrent post as premier in August 1997 to take responsibility for the
police's perceived inability to crack down on heavy crime.
While on the run, the trio committed two more kidnappings and murdered a
plastic surgeon, his wife and a nurse at his clinic in Taipei.
Lin was killed in a shoot-out with police in August 1997, while Kao committed
suicide while cornered by police in November of that year.
Chen eventually surrendered to police after breaking into the Taipei residence
of the South African military attache and holding hostage the entire family in
a bid to win freedom for his wife and his brother-in-law who had been arrested
in connection with the Pai Hsiao-yen kidnap-murder case.
That hostage drama played out live on television as Chen used a local reporter
to convey his demands to police. Chen later also confessed raping several women
in Taipei.
Chen's execution at the Tucheng prison outside Taipei comes after prosecutors
concluded earlier this week he has no legal grounds for an extraordinary
appeal.
Justice Minister Yeh Chin-feng signed the execution order earlier in the day,
ending a dispute among legal experts over the validity of the controversial
''banditry law'' under which Chen was handed a ''multiple'' death sentence.

Taiwan executions renew debate on 1944 ``bandit law''
By Michael Kramer
TAIPEI, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Even as headlines screamed of the execution of
Taiwan's most notorious criminal, debate brewed on Thursday over the state
killing of seven others convicted under a ``bandit law'' dating back to China's
chaotic civil war.
With the exception of three convicts awaiting appeal, Taiwan cleared out its
death row late on Wednesday -- firing bullets into the heads of eight men in
the space of one evening.
The media spotlight locked on the execution of Chen Chin-hsing, whose 1997
crime spree sparked the largest protests in Taiwan history as citizens feared a
collapse of law and order.
Chen seized the island's attention when he kidnapped and killed a celebrity's
daughter in April 1997 and evaded a police dragnet for seven months, only to
surrender after taking a South African diplomat and his family hostage for 24
hours.
Yet while there was little sympathy for Chen, who received a triple death
sentence on kidnap, murder and rape charges, the execution of seven others on
the same night has brought a long-simmering debate back to a boil.
``BANDIT LAW'' FROM AUTHORITARIAN PAST
All had been convicted under a 1944 statute, the Act for the Control and
Punishment of Banditry, which has been denounced as more suited to Taiwan's
tough authoritarian past than the liberal democracy fostered by the lifting of
martial law in 1987.
The ``bandit law'' was enacted when the Republic of China that now rules only
Taiwan was still running the Chinese mainland -- a chaotic time when the
Nationalist government was being pressed by invading Japanese and communist
rebels in the countryside.
The law required annual reenactment by parliament until it was made permanent
in 1957.
At issue is whether several post-expiration renewals of the catch-all
legislation, which allows draconian sentencing, between 1944 and 1957 meant
that it technically had expired for decades.
PAST THE EXPIRATION DATE?
Nineteen university professors of criminal law have issued a joint statement
saying just that -- that the bandit law expired long ago, the mass-circulation
China Times reported.
``Such careless executions by gunshot will create larger problems tomorrow,''
it quoted the academics as saying.
The harshest criticism came from the English-language Taipei Times, which
blasted the executions as ``the most contemptible episode in Taiwan's recent
judicial history.''
Executing such convicts ``frees the government, in the most cynical way, from a
major potential embarrassment -- namely, what to do with people convicted under
the bandit law if the legislature, now researching the matter, confirms the
general consensus among legal scholars that the law is not valid,'' the paper
said in an editorial.
SUPREME COURT SAYS LAW STILL VALID
The popular United Daily News quoted the Ministry of Justice as saying it has
always held that the ``bandit law'' still had force, citing a confirmation from
the Supreme Court that the code had not expired.
In a commentary, the United Daily News said the ministry had legitimate fears
that overturning the law would disturb legal stability and social order.
But it added that ``too much emphasis on 'the stability of law' could allow
'vicious laws' to linger, and will do nothing to resolve the debate.''
Three men convicted under the bandit law while juveniles remain on death row,
awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on their appeal of a conviction for murdering a
couple in 1992.
Their case has won support from human rights groups and even a former
prosecutor general, as defence lawyers say the three were convicted with forced
confessions and flimsy evidence.
