A police probe into the handling of her case will share its results, says top officer
An independent watchdog group will be briefed on the results of an internal police investigation into the handling of the case of Tin Shui Wai mother Kim Shuk-ying, who was stabbed to death hours after she went to a police station for help.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Charles Wong Doon-yee made the promise after the internal Complaints Against Police Office took over the investigation of the case from the New Territories North Regional Crime Unit.
He said the office did so after getting a complaint from a member of the public, demanding an investigation into the case's handling.
As this was not a formal complaint to the office, the investigation could not be subjected to the normal monitoring of the Independent Police Complaints Council, Mr Wong said.
'But as there is a great public interest in the case, we will brief the council on the investigation results if it is interested,' Mr Wong said.
Kim, 31 and her daughters Li Yin-li, six, and Li Tsz-wan, five, were found stabbed to death in their Tin Shui Wai flat on April 11. The girls' father, Li Pak-sum, 44, is in a coma in the intensive care unit of Tuen Mun Hospital.
