STORYLINE:
A foreign man living in Hong Kong has been arrested on suspicion of killing a Southeast Asian woman at a waterfall inside a park in the Chinese territory.
The woman, who was about 25 years old, was a domestic worker in Hong Kong, but did not work for the suspect, police superintendent Sin Kwok-ming told reporters Tuesday night.
The woman went to the waterfall inside a park in Pok Fu Lam on Hong Kong Island on Sunday night with the suspect, but he rushed off alone in a taxi after staying there for about half an hour, police said.
On Monday morning, residents spotted the woman’s body floating in the pond below the waterfall.
An initial autopsy showed the woman drowned after being hit in the head with an unspecified hard object.
The man was detained on suspicion of murder and his wife was held on suspicion of assisting offenders.
The man holds a Hong Kong identity card, but police did not specify which country he or the victim was from.
The investigation was continuing.
The man and his wife were still in detention and have not been charged as of Wednesday morning, police said.
