Parcel Explosion

Written on .

Police have arrested a suspect in connection with a parcel explosion in Yilan City a day earlier that injured two elderly siblings. A task force arrested a man surnamed Wu, 63, at his home seizing evidence including copper wires, a micro switch, an electric meter and batteries. Police said the parcel was not mailed but was allegedly delivered to the victims' doorstep by the suspect two days before the explosion. Both sustained multiple injuries, but remained conscious and are in a stable condition after receiving hospital treatment, police added.

According to local media reports, Wu was involved in a financial dispute with the injured woman's 31-year-old son.
