Wounds on barrel body

A 22-year-old watch repairer found dead in a sealed cement-filled plastic barrel in Yuen Long had suffered skull wounds and a broken neck, a post-mortem examination found yesterday.

Woo Ching-ho's body was recovered in Tai Kei Leng on Wednesday, 10 days after he had been reported missing. The cause of death has yet to be confirmed pending toxicological examinations.

Three men and two women, aged between 18 and 23, were arrested and are being questioned.
