A Taiwanese woman, Yang Chin-ping, was sentenced to 11 years and two months in prison for the attempted murder of Alex Shorey, an Australian exchange student. Shorey, who was studying Chinese in Taiwan, was poisoned multiple times in 2023 by Yang, who was unhappy with his desire to end their relationship. After hospitalizations due to poisoning with rodenticide, Shorey was eventually evacuated to Australia for treatment. The court found Yang’s actions premeditated and cruel, and while she denied the charges, her lack of remorse and the severity of the crimes influenced the verdict. Shorey and his family are also pursuing civil actions against Yang.
