Update | Kevin Lau, ex-Ming Pao editor injured in savage chopper attack, stable after surgery
Stabbed former Ming Pao chief editor able to write, but not talk, and is said to be confident of recovery
Former Ming Pao chief editor Kevin Lau Chun-to’s condition has stabilised after surgery and he can write to communicate, his wife Vivian Chan Pik-kwan said this morning.
Lau remains in the intensive care unit of Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan after suffering a knife attack on his back and legs on the Sai Wan Ho waterfront on Wednesday.
His face is less pale, and he is responsive to questions. The wounds are stable after the surgery, no more massive bleeding. He can write with his fingers to express himself
“I visited Ah To again at 7am. His face is less pale, and he is responsive to questions. The wounds are stable after the surgery, no more massive bleeding. He can write with his fingers to express himself. Thanks to all our friends for praying for Ah To,” said Chan in a text message.
Lau, a former chief editor of the Chinese-language newspaper Ming Pao, was ambushed at about 10.30am after leaving his car near a restaurant he frequents for breakfast. He suffered multiple cut wounds and one was so deep it exposed his chest cavity and vital organs.
