Police commissioner Andy Tsang Wai-hung said the investigation involving a blood transfusion therapy case in which a woman died was heading in the direction of possible manslaughter and deception. Four women who received the therapy at a DR beauty centre later suffered septic shock. Tsang said police would look into whether negligence caused the death and it would investigate whether anyone deceived the victims or concealed the side effects.
