Attorney Liu Yiling of Fidelity Law Firm stated that this murder case involving Namewee occurred in Malaysia, and the Malaysian judiciary will conduct the trial first. However, according to Taiwan's criminal law, if a Taiwanese citizen is murdered abroad and the suspect's crime carries a sentence of three years or more imprisonment, Taiwan's judiciary also has jurisdiction. However, since Taiwan and Malaysia do not have an extradition treaty, Taiwan may not be able to extradite the suspect back to Taiwan. But if Namewee completes his sentence in Malaysia and comes to Taiwan, Taiwan's judiciary will still have the right to try him.
