Gruesome last details emerge of ‘murdered’ Hong Kong hiker ‘pushed down hill by his friends’
Bosco Kwok Wai-nok was found with cuts and stab wounds to his neck and head following a nighttime trip up Black Hill with three friends, who have been arrested
A young man who was reported missing while scouting for a site to play war games with friends on a Hong Kong hillside over the weekend was lured there, murdered and pushed down a slope, police said on Monday.
Officers arrested three men, aged between 21 and 27, who had been up Black Hill in Lam Tin with the victim in the early hours of Sunday.
Initial investigations indicated a monetary dispute over the purchase of war games equipment had triggered the “premeditated attack” in the early hours of Sunday, a source said.
The body of Bosco Kwok Wai-nok, aged 20, was found about 20 to 30 metres below the Wilson Trail near the top of Black Hill at about 8.30am on Monday, hours after his three friends were arrested.
Chief Inspector Ng Chung-wai of the Kowloon East regional crime unit said the victim had suffered multiple stab and cut wounds to his neck, face and head.
“Initial examination showed he had been dead for more than 24 hours,” he said.
