Hong Kong police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after an elderly man and his wife were found dead at two nearby buildings in Tsing Yi. The force said the man, believed to be in his eighties, was found injured near a car park building in Cheung Hang Estate at around 2.30pm on Wednesday and was later confirmed dead at the scene. Investigators suspected the man had fallen from the car park building, police said. Soon after, officers discovered an unconscious woman in her sixties, who was subsequently pronounced dead, inside the man’s home in Wang Sum House in Cheung Wang Estate. A source said the pair were a married couple living together in the flat. The case is under investigation. If you have suicidal thoughts, or you know someone who is, help is available.
