A tourist was last night being sought by police in connection with the killing of a woman in Chungking Mansions.
A Bangladeshi man disappeared shortly before an Indian woman in her 40s was found dead inside one of the guesthouse rooms on the 13th floor of the building on Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui at dawn.
Officers were called to the scene at about 6.15am after an employee discovered bloodstains outside a room and made a report to police.
The body of the woman was found lying in a pool of blood behind the door.
'Multiple injuries, including stab wounds, were found on the victim's head and back and there was a deep stab wound in her stomach. The wounds were probably caused by a very sharp object,' a police spokesman said.
'There were signs of a struggle inside the room. No weapon was located and no identity of the victim was found at the scene.' He said an autopsy would be carried out this morning to establish the cause of death.
