No apology from man who helped killer cut up and dump parents’ bodies
Tse Chun-kei had nightmares about victim’s severed hand
A man who helped dismember the bodies of his friend's parents, whom the friend had killed, has said in a magazine interview he did not feel sorry for his role in the case.
The man, Tse Chun-kei, 38, was cleared of murder on Friday when a nine-member jury found his friend Henry Chau Hoi-leung, 31, guilty of murdering his father, Chau Wing-ki, and mother, Siu Yuet-yee.
Both Tse and Chau had earlier admitted to two counts of preventing the lawful burial of the victims by cutting up and cooking parts of their bodies. The double murder took place in Tse's flat at Tai Kok Tsui in March 2013.
Henry Chau, 31, was convicted of two counts of murder by an 8-1 majority verdict. He has been sentenced to life in prison.
Tse was sentenced to one year in prison on the charge of preventing lawful burial, but was released immediately as he had already been in custody for more than one year.
Talking about the case in an interview with Next Magazine published yesterday, Tse replied in the negative when asked if he felt sorry about his role in disposing of the bodies. "There is no sorry to say," he told the magazine, adding that Chau had dumped some of the limbs in the sea and "things would be better" if the body parts could be recovered.
