killing of a 21-year-old Hong Kong girl by her 20-year-old boyfriend in Taiwan have pointed to strangulation as the cause of death for the victim, reports said today.
Earlier, investigation into the case has confirmed that Poon Hiu-wing (潘曉穎) had been pregnant before being murdered by Chan Tung-kai (陳同佳), and the latest findings released by the Shilin District Prosecutors Office indicated that Poon was strangled to death by Chan as suggested by the dislocation of her cervical spine, reported Liberty Times.
The couple visited Taiwan in February to spend Valentine’s Day on the island but before leaving for Hong Kong, the man allegedly killed the woman and left the body inside a pink suitcase which he dumped behind an MRT station near the Tamsui River. [FULL STORY]
