Supreme Court upholds life sentence for murder
Staff writer, with CNA
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a life sentence handed down to an Israeli-American for the 2018 murder and dismemberment of a Canadian citizen on the banks of the Sindian River (新店溪).
The court dismissed Oren Shlomo Mayer’s appeal and concluded that there was nothing objectionable in the High Court’s ruling in January, which upheld the New Taipei City District Court’s conviction of Mayer and three others last year in connection with the murder.
According to the verdict, Mayer, who has dual citizenship in Israel and the US, killed Canadian Sanjay Ryan Ramgahan because he suspected that Ramgahan had informed police about an illicit drug trade in which he and the three accomplices were involved.
