INQUIRIES continued yesterday into the death of a two-year-old boy who fell from a Sha Tin building after he had been taken to kindergarten by his pregnant mother.

The injuries sustained by Wong Ming-hung suggested he fell from at least the sixth floor of the building at Greenwood Garden in Sha Kok Street, police said.

In follow-up investigations yesterday, police checked the lift to see which floor buttons the 91-centimetre boy might have been able to press.

They are believed to have virtually ruled out the theory the boy climbed over the 1.2-metre wall on the rooftop and are appealing for any witnesses who might have seen someone carrying Ming-hung near the area.

Speaking last night, the boy's father, Wong Leung-wing, 38, said he had no idea what had happened.

''I strongly believe my son would not follow a stranger therefore he might have been abducted,'' the metal worker said.

He described the events leading up to his son's death when his wife, So Shuet-mui, 39, took Ming-hung to the Greenwood Kindergarten at about 8.30 am on Tuesday.
