Police have apprehended a 28-year-old man in connection with the death of a 49-year-old man found in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. The arrest took place around 1:38am on Thursday, when the suspect informed officers that the deceased had collapsed on Hanoi Road. Initial investigations, however, suggest the man passed out at a bar on the same street. The suspect and two other female staff members from the bar were involved, according to police sources. Both the suspect and deceased were employed at the establishment.
During the investigation, authorities seized approximately 50 grams of suspected crack cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and about HK$82,000 in cash from the bar. The 28-year-old suspect has been charged with obstructing a lawful burial, possessing a divan, drug trafficking, and failing to present identity documents. He remains in custody for further investigation. Police are still searching for the female suspect, believed to be in her 30s to 40s.
