Chiou Ho-shun case
The Chiou Ho-shun case (Chinese: 邱和順案; pinyin: Qiū Héshùn àn) is one of the most well-known criminal cases in Taiwan. In September 1988, a group of 12 men, led by Chiou Ho-shun (born 1960), was arrested and detained due to their murder of saleswoman Ko Hung Yu-lan and the kidnapping of schoolboy Lu Cheng. After 11 trials, in 2011, the Supreme Court reached a verdict that sentenced Chiou to the death penalty. The case has gained notoriety due to the lack of evidence for connecting Chiou and the 11 to the murders and the tortures they received in order to confess. As of 2024, Chiou is the longest-serving death row inmate in Taiwan.
