A man suspected of decapitating a four-year-old girl was beaten by an angry mob as he was detained in Taiwan, with parliament saying it would debate tougher sentences for child-killers following the shocking crime.
The killer grabbed the child from behind as she cycled to a metro station in Taipei with her mother to meet relatives on Monday, police said.
Pushing away the mother of the girl, who had rushed forward to save her daughter, he beheaded the child with a kitchen knife.
Seven bystanders were unable to stop the man, who was arrested at the scene, police added. The girl has been identified only by the surname Liu.
