Harvey Kong

An unemployed Hong Kong man was on Wednesday remanded in custody after being charged with the murder of a fellow angler following a dispute in North Point.
Chan Shu-yung, 66, appeared at Eastern Court charged in connection with the death of Law Shing-sau on Sunday.
According to court documents, Chan was charged with murdering Law at a concrete pier under the west bridge of North Point Ferry Pier on Sunday.

Chan, dressed in a black polo shirt and wearing a surgical mask, listened as the charge was read to him on Wednesday.
The prosecution asked for an adjournment to allow police to collect more evidence and to find witnesses, a murder weapon and CCTV footage. The defence did not object and no bail was applied for.

A murder suspect can only apply for temporary release before a High Court judge. The offence is punishable by life imprisonment.
The court adjourned the case to November 15.
Police on Sunday said the defendant allegedly got into a fight with Law, leading to the pair falling into the water twice during the altercation.
Chan was then arrested on the same day on suspicion of manslaughter, with police later reclassifying the case and laying a holding charge of murder against him.
Chief Inspector Yeung Wan-ming appealed for witnesses to come forward and contact police at 3660 1685 or 5468 8610
Divers from the force’s elite Special Duties Unit were also seen looking for evidence in the waters around the scene in North Point.
