Week2: Taipei girl, 8, dies a day after her throat was slit by school prowler

An eight-year-old Taipei girl has died almost a day after her throat was slashed by an intruder to her school, the island's Central News Agency reported.
Kung Chung-an, 29, allegedly entered the Taipei Municipal Beitou District Wenhua Elementary School without permission on Friday and followed the girl to a restroom, where he slashed her throat twice with a fruit knife.
The girl, surnamed Liu, was found in a pool of blood. She was rushed to Taipei Veterans General Hospital, where she was briefly resuscitated. But after sustaining severe damage to her trachea and carotid arteries, she died 19 hours later.
Kung gave himself in to police and provided statements regarding the crime. However, police said Kung refused to cooperate during further interrogation, and told his interrogators that he killed the girl because he heard voices inside his head.
Kung is an alumni of the Wenhua Elementary School, though his motivations for assaulting Liu are unclear. Police believe the attack was not random.
Kung showed no remorse for his actions, police said.
Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je said a task force would be set up to review school security and establish a system to monitor potentially dangerous people.

Last May, 21-year-old university student Cheng Chieh killed four Taipei subway passengers injured 24 others with a 30cm fruit knife. The attacker told police he wanted to do something "big" and "shocking" since his childhood.
