TAIPEI (AFP) - A Taiwan court on Thursday upheld a death sentence on a "merciless" woman who murdered three close family members in an insurance scam.
The final ruling in the high-profile case made Lin Yu Ru the first woman to be sentenced to death in Taiwan for 23 years.
The 32-year-old, accused of murdering her mother, husband and mother-in-law for $NT20 million (S$828,000) in insurance money, was convicted and sentenced to death by a High Court last year.
Her appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court on Thursday after a hearing last month.
