Police and ambulancemen were called to the 14th floor of Hing Lok House, Kwai Hing Estate, Kwai Chung, shortly before midnight on Saturday by a neighbour who overheard an argument.

Wong Loi-sau, 57, was found lying in a pool of blood with stab wounds to the neck. He was certified dead by paramedics. A blood-soaked knife was found in the apartment Wong shared with a friend.

A police spokesman said the suspect was arrested and was helping with inquiries.
