Bones of a beheaded compensated-dating girl were dumped into a basket at a butcher shop in Shek Kip Mei Market after a client spent more than eight hours dismembering her, a court heard yesterday.
The gruesome story was told in a videotape of a police interview with Ting Kai-tai, 24, who has denied murdering Kiki Wong Ka-mui, 16, but has admitted preventing lawful burial of her corpse. It was the fifth of seven interviews with Ting in which police said he gave two different versions of what had happened after Wong came to his tiny Sham Shui Po flat on April 27 last year.
Ting, who has claimed he was so dazed by drugs that he could not remember how the girl died, said he woke at his dining table at about 4pm that day to find her dead in his bed with blood oozing from her mouth.
In an interview on May 7, Ting told police he had put the body in a foam box and wheeled it on a trolley to Kowloon City Pier where he dumped it into the sea. Yesterday, the court heard Ting gave another version on May 8 detailing how he decapitated Wong and cut her body into small pieces using a chopper and a cutting board inside his small washroom before flushing the pieces down the toilet.
'I [then] took a route 6C bus to Kowloon City Pier,' he said in the interview. 'I went alone. I was carrying only her head. Yes ... the remaining parts of her body were cut into pieces and flushed away already.'
He said that after he awoke he dragged Wong's body from his bed to the washroom. He first cut the throat once with a chopper, and left the body on the floor for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the blood to run out. 'It was very sharp and the cut was so deep,' he said.
