Taiwan's Supreme Court has upheld the life sentence given to a man who killed, robbed
00:06
and raped a woman in 2014.
00:10
The murderer, surnamed Liu, was given the death sentence in four previous verdicts.
00:15
But after several appeals, the court ruled his crime was not premeditated.
00:22
Under Taiwanese law, such random killings do not carry the death penalty.
00:27
In September, Taiwan's constitutional court ruled to keep capital punishment, but said
00:32
it should only be used in the most extreme cases.
