A WOMAN chopped her daughter-in-law to death in a Shau Kei Wan flat last night and then killed herself, police say.
A neighbour in Tai On House heard shouts for help at about 6 pm and went into the corridor to find Tsang Lai-mui, 26, lying on the floor outside her home with multiple chop wounds to her head and neck.
He saw Ma Mei-lin, 60, running away from Tsang brandishing a chopper. Ma dropped the weapon before climbing onto the window-sill and jumping eight floors to her death.
Ma's son, barrister Samson Hung Kin-man, was not at home at the time of the attack.
But her elder son, Hung Kin-tak, returning to the nearby flat where he lived with his mother, found a crowd outside Tai On House and his mother dead on the ground.
Friends of the family said Samson Hung had met his wife, a company manager, when he was studying law in Britain.
