According to Australian media news, the identity of the wanted person suspected of pouring hot coffee to a baby in Hanlon Park in Brisbane has been exposed, and the police have identified the suspect.
According to a report by the Daily Mail on October 3, he was accused of heinous behavior in Australia on a student visa.
On August 27th, it was an ordinary day, and the cute 9-month-old baby boy, Luka, was happily playing in Hanlon Park at Stones Corner in the company of his mother. Little Luka's world was supposed to be full of sunshine, laughter and the warm embrace of her mother,
However, bad luck struck suddenly. A man appeared beside them, throwing hot coffee at the defenseless Luka without warning. In an instant, little Luka's delicate face and body suffered severe burns.
The little face, which was originally pink and full of life, was eroded by the hot coffee, and the child's painful cries seemed to still echo in the sky above the park.
After this incident, the development of the whole incident is as worrying as a suspense drama. The man's behaviour after the incident showed that he appeared to have been premeditated and had strong counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
Just one day after the incident, he drove to New South Wales (NSW) and then fled Australia by plane from Sydney on August 31. His behavior is undoubtedly evading the punishment of the law, and it has also plunged the victims and their families into deeper despair.
It is understood that the man initially came to Australia on a holiday visa in 2019 and then switched to a student visa. However, he did such cruel things on this land of Australia.
Queensland Police acted quickly in the aftermath of the incident, setting up an investigative team of nearly 30 officers. Paul Dalton, who is in charge of the investigation, said police had issued an arrest warrant for the man on suspicion of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm. The fact that this offence carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment is a good indication of the seriousness of the act.
However, as the investigation deepened, the police found that this suspect was not simple.
Paul Dalton reluctantly said: "We quickly realized that this person was familiar with the police and had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, which made the investigation more complicated." Despite the best efforts of the officers of the investigation team, more than a month has passed since the incident, and the suspect is still at large.
On Thursday morning, Queensland Police's Andrew Massingham confirmed to 4BC that the man's name had been published by overseas media.
According to domestic media reports, he was born in Hangzhou. The exposure of this news seems to have brought a ray of hope to the detection of the case, but it has also brought new problems.
Asked if posts about the man's identity would hinder the investigation, Massingham said: "Sometimes, these posts interfere with our investigation. There are some things that always need to be kept secret before we make this information public. ”
At present, the Australian police have confirmed that the man's identity has been exposed overseas, and police officers will arrest the suspect worldwide.
Queensland Police's Massingham said firmly: "We are looking for this suspect worldwide...... We are determined to find this man and hold him accountable. ”
And for Luka's family, this is undoubtedly a huge disaster. The child's mother recalls the scene of that day, and her heart is filled with endless pain.
She expressed her frustration shortly after the press conference: "It sounds like they [the police] were going to catch him, which obviously means we're going to have to wait, who knows how long it will take to get justice for our son." Since this happened, she has been living with "fear, anxiety, stress."
"I don't know where this person is, and I don't want to leave this hospital because it's a safe space for us," she recounted. When I got home, I had a panic attack, and I still do. ”
"In a sense, I do feel relieved that he's not in this country, but I'm going to be scared and anxious all the time when I'm in public with my son. This has affected my mental health for the rest of my life. ”
Luka's father was also under a lot of pressure. They look at their children with a heart full of distress and guilt. They were looking forward to the child's healthy and happy growth, watching him learn to crawl, walk, talk little by little, and enjoy the happiness of being parents. However, all this was ruthlessly broken by that cup of hot coffee.
Little Luka's road to recovery has also been extremely difficult. His mother said sadly, "It takes years to recover. Not only those surgeries, but also lasers, acupuncture, and massage are performed afterwards to ensure that the movement is not affected. ”
Regarding the Brisbane coffee spill incident, after the Australian media broke out that the suspect was Chinese, many Chinese netizens expressed disbelief and said that they would severely punish the murderer:
