Miramar murders

The Miramar murders were a triple fratricide/suicide involving second generation members from the Huang Jung-tu (黃榮圖) branch of the Miramar Huang family, that occurred in November 2015 at the headquarters of Miramar Group company, Mayfull Food Corp (美福食集), in Neihu District, Taipei, Taiwan.[1]

At a family meeting of Huang Jung-tu's (黃榮圖) descendants from his first marriage, an argument broke out regarding the distribution of their father's fortune. Younger brother, Huang Ming-te (黃明德), angered that his request for more money had been rebuffed by older brother, Huang Ming-huang (黃明煌), produced an Italian Tanfoglio pistol and shot him dead. Huang Ming-jen (黃明仁), the 3rd-eldest sibling, then attempted to intervene, whereupon Huang Ming-te shot him dead.[1]

Another brother, Huang Ming-tang (黃明堂), fled the scene and locked himself in an adjoining suite, from where he called the police. According to a report in the Taipei Times:

“Police officers arrived to find Huang Ming-te standing on the building’s seventh floor balcony holding a handgun. Despite the officers’ attempts to talk him down, he shot himself, fell to the ground and was later pronounced dead at the Tri-Service General Hospital” [2]

In all, 13 shots were fired.

Apart from owning Mayfull and other companies, “The Huang family, reportedly owns numerous plots of land and real estate in the Dazhi area worth more than NT$100 billion (US$3.06 billion).” [2]
