Friend of dismembered couple's son had nothing to do with the killings, court hears
Alleged accomplice of dismembered couple's son only helped handle the remains, court told
A jobless man who allegedly helped murder and cut up a friend's elderly parents told police he had nothing to do with the killings and was shown the body parts only after the fact, a court heard yesterday.
When Tse Chun-kei, 36, was arrested outside his flat in Tai Kok Tsui, he said, "I did not kill anyone. It had nothing to do with me," according to senior police officer Yeung Chi-hang.
Yeung also cited Tse as saying in a reference to his friend Henry Chau: "Ah Leung only showed me a plastic box. I saw some hands and something like human parts. I only handled these for him."
Tse denies participating in the deaths of Henry Chau's parents - Chau Wing-ki, 65, and Siu Yuet-yee, 62 - at Tse's flat in Tai Kok Tsui on March 1 last year.
The bodies were cut up, with the heads stored in two refrigerators and other remains kept in lunch boxes, plastic bags and plastic boxes, the Court of First Instance heard last week.
Yesterday, the court watched a police video interview of Tse. He repeats himself and pauses as he says Henry Chau, while at Tse's home one day, asked him to look inside a box. "I smelled a very strong smell and saw … saw … one … one hand, and other things, all in pieces," he said.
