Confessions in Hong Kong cement murder: victim forced to breathe in chloroform and injected in thigh
Court hears grisly details from three more defendants facing conspiracy charge
More details surrounding the body-in-cement murder case emerged on Friday as Tsuen Wan Court heard the alleged murderers confessed to covering the victim’s mouth and nose with chloroform and administering an injection to at least one of his inner thighs.
The revelation came as three more defendants – Tsang Cheung-yan, 26, Keith Lau, 21, and Cheung Sin-hang, 23 – were brought to court to face a conspiracy murder charge.
It was alleged that on March 4 they conspired, confederated and agreed with Ho Ling-yu to murder Cheung Man-li, 28, at Flat 9D of industrial building DAN 6 on Fui Yiu Kok Street in Tsuen Wan.
The three men, all unemployed, were not required to enter a plea at their first court appearance before acting principal magistrate Cheang Kei-hong.
But prosecutor Esther Mak Wai-ling noted the three had “already made confessions relevant to the case, including administration of an injection to an inner thigh of the victim and using chloroform to cover his mouth and nose”.
Mak did not, however, reveal what was injected, which leg was involved, and how many injections were administered.
