A Hong Kong High Court jury has found two men, Chan Wah-hing, 67, and Chan Yiu-lung, 33, guilty of murdering a man following a financial dispute. The pair then attempted to extort HK$3.6 million (US$459,331) from the victim's wife by falsely claiming they were holding him for ransom. The court heard that the defendants had already killed the victim and disposed of his body in grass near Ping Yeung Village, later sealing the site with cement in September 2022.
