Canadians still looking for daughter's murderer

Canadian police said yesterday the file on the murder of Laurence Leung's daughter remained open four years after the attack.

Sylvia Leung Sze-hon, 22, was hit in the shoulder by a bolt from a powerful crossbow in the car park of the British Columbia Institute of Technology near Vancouver on January 24, 1993.

No one has been charged nor has a murder weapon been found. The C$300,000 (HK$1.73 million) reward for information is unclaimed.

Over the past four years police have followed thousands of leads and interviewed hundreds people in Canada and Hong Kong. Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Scott Baker said: 'We are still working on the file. We are waiting for new information.' Police believe only a handful of people knew Ms Leung's whereabouts at the time of murder, including her family members and boyfriend.

But they did not have sufficient information to lay charges against any suspects, he said.

Constable Baker said police were aware of Mr Leung's resignation.

In the six months leading up to the murder, the Leung family was the target of at least five attacks, including fire-bombings and an attempt to electrify a front entrance.
