- Supplemental footage seen by Coroner’s Court shows 15-year-old leaving belongings behind as she wanders halls of Hong Kong Design Institute
- Segment shows her wearing shoes, but a minute later, she is barefoot; no shoes were found, police say
A 15-year-old girl found dead at sea last September left her shoes inside her school before walking barefoot towards a nearby housing estate and disappearing, new evidence has revealed.
The Coroner’s Court on Friday saw additional CCTV footage of Chan Yin-lam inside the Hong Kong Design Institute’s Tseung Kwan O campus at 6pm on September 19, one hour before she went missing.
Chan, a student at the institute, returned to campus at 5.50pm after leaving school with her friends in the afternoon, then spent 70 minutes wandering the school premises before leaving without any footwear at 7pm, the court heard. She was last seen on camera walking towards a nearby housing estate.
Her body was found off the waters of Tseung Kwan O three days later.
In a 30-minute compilation of footage previously played in court, Chan was seen looking around and smiling, pressing lift buttons without entering the lifts, and moving a warning sign on the floor for no apparent reason.
