The 19-year-old, identified only by her surname, Lin, was taken into custody in Miaoli County in the North-Western part of the Island after she allegedly stabbed her uncle in the stomach with a 29-centimetre knife, according to the semi-official Central News Agency.
Based on their initial investigation, the police said the teen was connecting to the internet around 02:00am when her uncle shut the power down. An argument arose, and the teen pulled out the knife. The 37-year-old uncle, whose name was not released, died of his wounds in a local hospital.
Lin’s grandmother, who also lived in the home, said the uncle had a bad temper, and would shut down the power of the house occasionally while Lin was surfing the web because he was annoyed that she stayed up so late.
A representative from Miaoli’s prosecutors office declined to comment on the case, but said a murder conviction in Taiwan carries a penalty ranging from 10years in prison to a death sentence.
