‘Psychiatric medication’ found in flat of Hong Kong man suspected of killing his elderly mother
Son who survived leap from 16th-floor flat remains in intensive care
A 34-year-old man who was accused of murdering his bedridden mother before jumping from a 16th-floor flat in a suicide bid on Sunday was a psychiatric patient at a Hong Kong hospital and received his last consultation 11 days ago before the brutal killing, the Post has learned.
The mental condition of the man was described as “stable” when he had the consultation at the West Kowloon Psychiatric Centre in Lai Chi Kok on September 27.
It was understood that he was given medication and his next appointment was scheduled for February next year.
The Post understands the man is a psychiatric patient at the Kwai Chung Hospital. But it is unclear how long he has been receiving treatment. The West Kowloon Psychiatric Centre is one of the hospital’s psychiatric outpatient centres.
Police have said they will assess the mental health of the businessman, who runs his own property management service company.
