A dummy was understood to have been used when police reconstructed the killing in the ninth-floor industrial unit where the decomposed body of 28-year-old Cheung Man-li was found encased in cement on March 29.

The re-enactment ended at 3.45pm, and the suspect was driven back to Tsuen Wan police station.

The woman had fled to Taiwan on March 11 with three other suspects, and was arrested when she returned to Hong Kong on Monday night.
