Police investigating Alex Shorey's Taiwanese female friend in rat poisoning case

Police in Taiwan say the female friend of an Australian university student is under investigation for poisoning him with a powerful rodent killer, with officers seizing evidence from her Taipei home as the Queensland man was being medically evacuated this week.

Alex Shorey, 24, is slowly recovering in Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital after family and friends raised more than $200,000 to fly him home from Taiwan on Wednesday.

The exchange student had spent a year in Taiwan studying, and was weeks away from returning home to Australia when he started experiencing black skin spots and unusual bleeding.

Doctors at a top Taipei hospital found that he'd ingested superwarfarin, normally used as a rat killer, and his condition critically worsened to include organ damage when his body responded badly to treatment.

A Taipei City Police spokesman told the ABC that investigators on Wednesday "searched the home of a female friend and found relevant evidence".

"Police questioned this female friend on Thursday and restricted her from leaving Taiwan," the spokesman said, confirming she is the only suspect.

Responding to speculation in the media, Taipei City Police also rejected suggestions Mr Shorey may have ingested the rat poison from street food or illicit drugs.

Some Taiwanese media reports have gone further, claiming the suspect is a 45-year-old woman who was Mr Shorey's girlfriend and reporting that rat poison was found at her residence.

One news outlet has published a photo it claims is the suspect emerging from an interview with investigators.

Mr Shorey's father Steve was briefed by Taipei police about the criminal investigation before leaving with his son on Wednesday to fly back to Australia.

He declined to comment further to the ABC while the investigation continued.

The case has captured the attention of Taiwan's media, with multiple medical experts speculating that Mr Shorey would have had to ingest a non-trivial amount of warfarin to exhibit the symptoms he presented with.

Other commentators have honed in on the initial speculation that he may have ingested the rat poison from tainted street food, with a Taiwanese street vendor group angrily rejecting that possibility.

THE MOST BRUTAL EXECUTION METHODS REPORTEDLY USED BY MEXICAN CARTELS.

The Most Brutal Execution Methods Reportedly Used By Mexican Cartels The Mexican Drug War - a sustained, violent conflict between powerful drug cartels and the Mexican government - has claimed an estimated 164,000 lives over the past decade. This rampant bloodshed has torn apart cities and communities across Mexico, often taking the lives of the innocent along with those directly involved. The Mexican cartels (The Sinaloa, Los Zetas, The Gulf Cartel, and the Knights Templar, most notably) and their known drug associates continue to escalate gratuitous acts of retaliation and often record the executions. In 2017, the Mexican government extradited Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a known member of the Sinaloa cartel, to the US. Guzmán faces charges of murder and laundering funds. New York prosecutors have evidence against the alleged cartel leader, including YouTube videos in which Guzmán systematically harmed and then removed the heads of rival gang members. In a ...

Saudi Arabia execution: Horror video shows 'innocent' woman being BEHEADED for 'killing six-year-old' Man who filmed Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim's execution and put it on the internet is arrested following outrage after fears her family could watch A woman screamed her innocence right up until the last seconds before an executioner’s sword fell, beheading her for killing her husband’s six-year-old daughter. But the sword-weilding executioner had to take two swings to hack-off Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim’s head in graphic footage later uploaded onto the Internet. There were howls of protest over the woman’s execution in Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca after she was found guilty of beating the girl and raping her with a broomstick. But the outrage, mainly from men, wasn’t about her sentence of death, but because it was filmed and uploaded onto the web, where her family might see it. Now the country’s religious police have arrested the person who filmed the e...
