A HK$300,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of two men wanted by police in connection with the chopping death of a senior Sun Yee On triad member in August.
The two Hong Kong residents named in the police reward notice over the killing of gangster Lee Tai-lung,  41,  outside a five-star hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui are Leung Kwok-chung, 40, alias 'Man Sun Chung' and Cheng Yuk-lun, 35, known as 'Chu Tau Sai'.
'Man Sun' means tattoo in English. Leung, who is an alleged faction leader of the Wo Shing Wo  triad society,  is heavily tattooed. He is a 'red-pole fighter' - a senior member who acts as an enforcer.
Police said Leung  was 1.73 metres tall. 
He bears scars sustained when he was seriously injured in a 2006 chopper brawl between more than 50 members of his Wo Shing Wo group and Lee's Sun Yee On.  
Police said investigations showed that Leung had left Hong Kong for the mainland days before Lee was killed outside the Kowloon Shangri-La hotel  on August 4. 
Lee was the leader of the Tsim Sha Tsui East faction of Sun Yee On.
A police officer involved in the investigation said Leung's exit from Hong Kong was an apparent attempt to disassociate himself from Lee's killing.
'But our intelligence shows that he returned to Hong Kong from the mainland through an illegal channel to plot the killing before August 4,' the officer said. 
'After the killing, he was smuggled back to the mainland.'
Police believe Cheng is Leung's close associate. 'Our intelligence showed that he drove a green car - one of the two cars involved in the killing,' the officer said. 
Cheng had left Hong Kong for Shenzhen the same day that Lee was killed, he said.
Superintendent Cheng Fuk-chuen of the organised crime and triad bureau  said:  'We hope the reward will attract more people to provide us with valuable information to locate and arrest the two wanted persons.' 
Just before  4am on August 4, Lee, also known as the 'Baron of Tsim Sha Tsui East',  was ambushed after parking his Mercedes-Benz at the Kowloon Shangri-La in Mody Road.  
According to the reward notice, Lee was first knocked down by a seven-seater vehicle as he walked away from his  car. 
Three knife-wielding men, wearing caps and  masks, leaped out  to attack Lee and then returned to the vehicle. It and a  green car  sped away from the scene. 
The two cars, both confirmed to be stolen vehicles, were later found ablaze in Tai Po. Several knives were later found by police divers in the sea nearby. 
So far, police have arrested 21 men and two women in connection with Lee's murder. Ten have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder or conspiracy to wound with intent.  
 Police have also offered a HK$300,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the killer of 88-year-old Cho Lai-sim, whose body was found in bed in her hut in Shui Hau village  on Ho Chung Road,  Sai Kung, on August 14.
Police said she had been strangled in what might have been a burglary gone wrong.
