Black Hill murder suspects charged after two return to scene of Hong Kong killing for police reconstruction

The three Hongkongers accused of luring their friend up a hill before killing him and pushing him down a slope were jointly charged with murder on Tuesday night after two of them went with police to the scene of the alleged crime earlier in the day to reconstruct the events.

All three suspects were being held for questioning at Tsz Wan Shan police station and jointly charged with one count of murder on Tuesday night. The case was scheduled to be mentioned at Kwun Tong Court on Wednesday.

Police cordoned off a section of O King Road near Kwong Tin Estate in Lam Tin before a ­seven-seat car carrying one of the murder suspects, 21, arrived at the bottom of Black Hill at about 10am Tuesday.

Wearing a long-sleeved shirt, shorts and a pair of white shoes, the man was hooded and ­handcuffed when he got out of the car. A plain-clothes police officer led him around on a metal chain.

The suspect had a brief ­conversation with another officer during the videotaped ­reconstruction, before they went up the hill along the Wilson Trail. Other officers combed the area for evidence.

The reconstruction ended at about 12.30pm and the suspect returned to the police station.
