A heartwarming video has emerged online, showing the 28-year-old victim of a gruesome murder at a happier time.

Wearing a navy sweater, khaki pants and rimless spectacles, Cheung Man-li was seen chatting with a group of friends at a casual dinner in the four-and-a-half-minute clip.

Titled “Pay by Love”, the video ends with Cheung being asked to pay for the meal, not with cash or a credit card, but by calling his parents and telling them “something important”.

“Hey, Dad,” Cheung said to kick off the phone conversation.

“There’s something I want to tell you,” he continued.
