Hong Kong police have appealed to the public for help in locating two Filipino domestic helpers who went missing while hiking near Tsuen Wan nine days ago.
Police on Monday said the women, Imee Mahilum Pabuaya, 24, and Aleli Perez Tibay, 33, were last seen on the Lung Mun Country Trail in Tsuen Wan between 4.30pm and 5pm on October 4.
The pair, listed by police as missing last Friday, might have descended the mountain via routes such as Sam Dip Tam, the force said.
A previous police report said the women were seen earlier in the afternoon of October 4 near Yeung Uk Road in Tsuen Wan.
The force said it had received reports on October 6 and 8 that the two women were missing.

Police urged members of the public to report if they saw the two women anywhere in Tsuen Wan, Tai Wo Hau, Lei Muk Shue or Kwai Hing after 5pm on October 4.
Pabuaya is about 1.55 metres (5.1 feet) tall, with a medium build and was last seen wearing a dark blue denim top, dark blue denim shorts and white shoes.
Tibay is about 1.58 metres tall, with a slim build and was last seen wearing a light blue long-sleeved top, light blue denim trousers and white shoes.
The case has gone viral on social media, with users sharing numerous posts with images of the pair on platforms such as Facebook.
“To my friends living near Yeung Uk Road, have you seen them?” one user wrote.
“Let’s help them, even if only by sharing their pictures!” another said.
The force requested that anyone with information about the two missing women contact its Hong Kong Island headquarters’ missing persons investigation unit or the nearest police station.
The Lung Mun Country Trail is located in the Tai Mo Shan Country Park and spans about 7.6km (4.7 miles).
According to outdoor activity app AllTrails, the route is considered “moderately challenging” and takes about 2½ hours to complete.
