Three men have been arrested for the murder of a Mongolian who was found collapsed with wounds to his body in a guest house in Chungking Mansions.
The body of the 29-year-old man was found on Tuesday by an employee of the Disney Deluxe Guest House on the 14th floor of the 17-storey building on Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
A police spokesman confirmed the arrests but would not give any further details.
An officer close to the investigation said the arrest was made after officers reviewed CCTV videotapes taken from the guest house. He said more arrests might be made and officers were still trying to find a motive for the murder.
An autopsy on the Mongolian failed to determine the cause of death and more tests will be carried out.
The body has yet to be identified. The room was still cordoned off yesterday and police questionnaires had been issued to those in the building as part of the investigation.
Chungking Mansions - the five blocks housing 100 guest houses, 800 flats and three floors of shops including a number of South Asian restaurants - has variously been described as 'a centre on the edge of society', a 'towering inferno waiting to happen' and an 'eyesore deserving nothing other than demolition'.
