   Stone lion-dog statues dating back to the Japanese colonial period were vandalised in Taipei over the weekend by the same pro-mainland China activist who last month beheaded a statue symbolising the island’s colonial past, Taiwanese media reported on Monday. The Central News Agency said former Taipei City councillor Lee Cheng-lung and a female accomplice were arrested on the spot on Sunday night on suspicion of attacking the century-old statues with hammers. The statues, located at the entrance to Yixian Elementary School in the capital’s Beitou district, are now partially missing their front legs.
