Murder probe after woman found dead in Sai Kung

Police have launched a murder investigation after a 21-year-old woman died at a home in Sai Kung, with her father, his wife and two family friends arrested on suspicion of killing her.



Officers were called to a village house at Lung Mei Tsuen Road at about 7.30am on Monday by the woman's 50-year-old father, who said his daughter had collapsed.



Police found the woman unconscious on a bed. She had sustained multiple injuries and was declared dead at the scene.



They arrested the victim's 50-year-old father, the man's 52-year-old wife, a male friend of the father, 49, and a 29-year-old female friend.



They also seized a pair of slippers and three plastic rackets which police believe were used in assaulting the woman.



A post-mortem will be carried out later. The Wong Tai Sin district crime squad is investigating.
