Hong Kong police have taken a murder suspect back to the scene of a fatal hammer attack for a re-enactment, days after the man was among five people arrested over the killing of a gambling den operator in a love triangle dispute.
Dozens of uniformed and plain-clothes officers were in position on Pilkem Street in Yau Ma Tei before the 40-year-old man was brought to the scene in a police van on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the victim, a 33-year-old man, was struck on the head with the hammer more than 10 times at around 2.20am on Sunday.
The victim, who operated a gambling den on Pilkem Street, died in hospital five hours later.
Officers on the same day arrested two men and three women in connection with the murder case.
The suspects include the 40-year-old alleged attacker and his girlfriend, both of whom are believed to have been part of the love triangle.
The other three were apprehended on suspicion of aiding and abetting the attacker.
