Early Thursday morning, Hong Kong police launched a search for a Chinese woman after discovering a man's body outside a commercial building in Tsim Sha Tsui. The incident occurred around 1:40am, prompting an urgent response from emergency services. Upon arrival, paramedics confirmed the victim's death, identifying him as a 48-year-old man.
A 28-year-old employee from a nearby bar was arrested and charged with illegally handling the deceased's body. The arrested individual claimed he had assisted the woman in moving the body to a motorcycle car park outside K11 Art Mall. However, further investigation revealed that the man had initially discovered the victim inside a toilet cubicle at an upstairs bar on Carnarvon Road.
The woman, described as a Chinese national in her thirties with a slim build and long black hair, is approximately 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a black T-shirt, black trousers, and a white cap when found. Her relationship with the deceased remains unclear.
Forensic examination of the body showed signs of rigor mortis, indicating that death had occurred a few hours prior. Police also seized a suspected drug pipe from the bar, though its ownership remains undetermined. An autopsy will be conducted to ascertain the exact cause of death.
