A source said the stepson, aged in his 40s, who has fled the city, was being sought after the brutal killing of Lau Hung-lee, 54, on Kam Pok Road in Yuen Long in the New Territories on Saturday night.
Acting superintendent Tai Yuk-lun of the Yuen Long district crime squad said the victim had suffered “multiple cut wounds to the neck and wrists and multiple stab wounds to the abdomen and chest”.
He confirmed the suspect had left Hong Kong. Tai did not reveal the relationship between the two, but said the killer and victim knew each other and that “it was not a random attack”.
He added investigations suggested a grudge had sparked the killing.
