Woman chained up and beat husband

A Chinese woman has been arrested in Taiwan for allegedly beating her estranged local-born husband with wooden sticks and chaining him up in her home for more than a month, police here said Thursday.

The victim, identified only by his surname Hsu, suffered multiple wounds and bruises all over his body and had lost 20 kilogrammes (44 pounds) due to lack of food, said police in the southern city of Kaohsiung.

"She put socks in my mouth to keep me quiet when beating me and only gave me food every three or four days ... She threatened to kill me and our son if I went to the police," a visibly shaken Hsu told CtiTV.
