Hong Kong police are investigating the death of a decorating firm director after his body was discovered with a “10cm cut wound to the neck” in his own shop on Tuesday.
Emergency personnel arrived at the store on Cross Street in Wan Chai shortly before 4.30pm after receiving a call from the man’s business partner.
“The man was found lying unconscious in the shop with a 10cm cut wound to the neck,” a police spokesman said.
The force said the 58-year-old man, surnamed Tsui, was certified dead at the scene by paramedics.
A police insider said blood was also found on the shop’s walls.
The business partner had returned to the store and found its rolling shutter lowered but not padlocked, the source said. The shop had recently been rented by the company and was being renovated before it was expected to open for business.
