Coffin a 'sick joke'

Police were last night trying to locate those responsible for placing a home-made 'coffin' bearing the name Lui Che-woo, chairman of the listed company, K. Wah International Holdings Ltd, inside what is believed to be a stolen van found abandoned outside Mr Lui's hotel in Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, at dawn yesterday. When he was contacted last night, Mr Lui said: 'It's a sick joke.' The incident would not hamper the operations of his company, he said.
