An unemployed man appeared in court yesterday morning charged with murdering his parents, along with another unemployed man, in whose home the killings allegedly occurred.

Henry Chau Hoi-leung, 29, and Tse Chun-kei, 35, entered no pleas at Kowloon City Court.

Chau and Tse are charged jointly with two counts of murder for allegedly killing Chau's father, Chau Wing-ki, 64, and Chau's mother, Siu Yuet-yee, 63.

They are accused of murdering the couple in a room on the third floor of a building at 38 Fuk Chak Street in Tai Kok Tsui on March 1 this year.

The address where the killing allegedly occurred was listed in a court document as the place where Tse lived.

The document showed that Chau lived in Ivy Tower on Second Street in Western District.

A court interpreter read out the charges and asked the pair whether they had understood them. They said they had.
