Taipei, Taiwan — Taiwan police are unsure whether to place a transsexual convicted of murder in a men's or women's prison, a report said yesterday. Cheng Hui-fang, 26, who underwent female-to-male surgery two months ago, was arrested today after being convicted in absentia on murder charges and sentenced to an 11-year jail term. But Cheng, the first trans-gender suspect arrested in a nationwide crackdown on organised crime, still holds an ID card which says he is a woman, causing a dilemma for police, according to the United Evening News. The newspaper said police feared for Cheng's safety in a men's prison but thought he may be a danger to other inmates in a women's jail. Citation Unknown.
