A Hong Kong IT analyst, Wong Chi-kwong, has been charged with the murder of his wife at their flat in a private residential estate, according to police reports. The 51-year-old Wong appeared in Eastern Court on Friday, where he was remanded in custody for the first time. The incident occurred two days prior, on Wednesday, when his 53-year-old wife, Wong Yuk-ting, was found dead in their flat at block 2 of Heng Fa Chuen estate in Chai Wan.
During the court proceedings, the defendant maintained a composed demeanor when the murder charge was read out, acknowledging that he was accused of killing his wife and stating that he now faces criminal proceedings.

Police confirmed that the wife was found dead at the scene of the crime. Heng Fa Chuen is a private waterfront residential estate located in Hong Kong's Eastern district, built in the 1980s and consisting of 48 residential towers along with a shopping center.
