A 68-year-old man has been arrested in Hong Kong after the decomposing body of his wife was found in their home.
The woman, surnamed Wong, 64, was believed to have died a few weeks ago, but her husband never told police.
Emergency personnel were called to Kwun Tong Garden Estate in Sau Mau Ping shortly before midnight on Friday.
A security guard, surnamed Sze, 61, was patrolling the building in the public housing estate and called police after residents complained about an odour coming from an eighth-floor flat.
“A man answered the door and officers found the dead woman lying on the bed inside the flat,” police said.
