A 22-year-old aspiring model became the victim of a 24-year-old photographer after she was invited to a photoshoot in an abandoned mall in Taipei, Taiwan.
The aspiring model was raped and then killed by the photographer.
The Taipei court held Taiwanese man Cheng Yu and his 22-year-old girlfriend Liang Ssu-Hui incommunicado after the young model's rape-slay. The photographer invited the model through Liang, who is a close friend of the victim.
Reportedly, after the suspect disposed of the victim's body in the mall's underground carpark, he took her valuables. Cheng even went shopping with his girlfriend after the horrid incident and gave the victim's watch to her as a gift. Using the aspiring model's credit card, the two checked into a 5-star hotel.
Fortunately, they were caught after the hotel's cameras were able to record Cheng discarding the model's mobile phone. The two were arrested by the police while they were leaving the hotel.
Cheng later confessed to murdering the model but denied sexually violating her. The police, however, were able to gather evidence that the victim was sexually assaulted.
According to them, the victim's body was undressed and her underwear was found discarded. Due to the police reports, Cheng was forced to confessed to raping the model.
Liang, on the other hand, was cleared by the authorities despite their initial claims that she was the prime suspect behind the crime. Video footage showed that the woman was at her home during the time of the incident.
