Anyway I just hope this will end soon. Let time do the healing.

Over-reaction is already getting out of hand. I understand your point but this incident was generated by rushed conclusion fueled by Taiwan media and politics. I truly believe it was not a murder. Rather, an accident. If it was murder, why not murder all four of them?
