A Hong Kong woman who was allegedly murdered by her 19-year-old boyfriend while on holiday in Taiwan was three months pregnant when she was killed, Taiwanese prosecutors said on Thursday.

Based on this new information, prosecutors will ask Hong Kong police to collect DNA from the suspect, Chan Tong-kai, who is being held in Hong Kong on charges of theft and handling stolen goods.

An autopsy revealed a tiny skeleton in the body of Poon Hiu-wing, Wu Yi-ming, Shihlin Prosecutors Office spokesman, said. “We want to ask for help from authorities in Hong Kong to collect the DNA samples from Mr Chan for us to compare with those of the skeleton.”    [FULL  STORY]
