The Taiwan army yesterday apologized for the death of a soldier and promised to punish personnel responsible for the incident.
Hung Chung-chiu (洪仲丘), a soldier performing compulsory service in the army’s sixth regiment, died three days before he was due to complete his term of service.
The army said Hung was scheduled to leave the military on Saturday.
On June 23 he was found carrying a cellphone with a camera and an MP3 player after returning from vacation, and was placed in confinement on June 28.
That soldier was murdered three days before withdrawing from the duty of Taiwan Army.
