HK$400,000 police reward up in hunt for two suspected triad members over 2016 death of parking valet
Sources say victim was involved in an argument with other valets before he was brutally beaten, and suspects may have fled city
Hong Kong police are offering a HK$400,000 (US$51,000) reward to track down two suspected triad members in connection with the death of a parking valet about 13 hours after he was brutally beaten two years ago.
The two Hong Kong men named in the police notice are Kwok Yau-man, 47, also known as Ka Shu or Ah Ka, and Lau Ho-yin, 42, alias Ho Yin. They are wanted over the killing of a 35-year-old man in Kowloon City in December 2016.
According to police, Kwok is about 1.7 metres in height and of medium build with short curly hair, and Lau is about 1.85 metres with a strong build and short hair. Both are holders of Hong Kong ID cards.
“The two Chinese males are wanted by police in connection with this case,” police said in the notice.
The offer was posted on the police website earlier this month and would remain in place for a year, subject to a review and extension.
The attack happened on the ground floor lift lobby of a building in Prince Edward Road West in Kowloon City at about 7.30pm on December 18, 2016.
An online video shows the victim working as a parking valet for restaurants near the junction of Prince Edward Road West and South Wall Road, before the two men assault him.
