Hong Kong ‘wardrobe corpse’ murder suspect handed over by mainland authorities
Guangdong crime fighter says Mok Chun-yin let his guard down after fleeing to Shenzhen and was tracked down in a day over death of his former girlfriend
The prime suspect at the centre of the 2013 killing of his flight attendant ex-girlfriend in Hong Kong lowered his guard after fleeing to Shenzhen and was tracked down within a day, according to a top Guangdong crime fighter.
Hong Kong police confirmed in a statement that Mok was handed over at the Huanggang-Lok Ma Chau border crossing point.
“The surrender ceremony today demonstrates the spirit of cooperation in law enforcement [by the forces] of the two places. It also sends a solemn and unequivocal message to the public that police from the two places are determined to combat crime and protect lives and property,” assistant police commissioner Chung Siu-yeung said at the handover ceremony.
The Hong Kong police asked for help from the mainland Public Security Bureau and its Guangdong provincial bureau in October last year.
