Elderly woman suffers brain haemorrhage for refusing grandson who pressured her to give him money<\/h2>\n

A 37-year-old man in Changzhi Township, Taiwan, has been arrested after brutally assaulting his 90-year-old grandmother when she refused to lend him money to pay off his gambling debts.<\/p>\n

The violent incident left the elderly woman with a brain haemorrhage and extensive bruising.<\/p>\n

Suspect lived off his grandmother, refused to work<\/h3>\n

The suspect, identified only by his surname Zhang (name transliterated from Mandarin), was described by family members as a “parasitic” individual who exploits elderly relatives for financial support.<\/p>\n

According to relatives, Zhang had refused to work and constantly demanded money from his grandmother.<\/p>\n

Despite the protection order, Zhang has refused to move out of the shared residence.<\/p>\n
