TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A fight between soldiers at a KTV parlor in Pingtung left one marine dead early Saturday (Oct. 12).
Police received reports of a fight at the unregistered KTV around 2:40 a.m. They sent an 11-member emergency response team to the scene, Liberty Times reported.
They were told the four guests involved had gone to a hospital. They found one of them had died.
The victim, surnamed Hung (洪), was a 20-year-old marine, per CNA. He had reportedly been attacked by the three other guests, with Lin (林), 24, a member of the 333 Mechanized Infantry Brigade, brandishing a knife.
Hung had been found severely injured by the side of a road 50 meters from the KTV. Drinking was believed to have played a part in the incident between the two sides, who had not known each other before the incident.
Reports said Lin and the two others were detained five hours after the clash.
