A Hong Kong man who allegedly stabbed two women to death in a shopping centre has been charged with two counts of murder and is due in court on Monday, police have said.
The force on Sunday said the suspect, a 39-year-old jobless man, was scheduled to appear at Kwun Tong Court in the morning.
The Post earlier learned the two victims lived about 300 metres (984 feet) from the village house where some of the remains of model Abby Choi Tin-fung were found.
Sources said the women, thought to be a couple, aged 22 and 26, who were stabbed to death in an apparently random attack at Plaza Hollywood in Diamond Hill, lived together in Lung Mei Tsuen in Tai Po.
The pair was said to have shared the space with another couple on the middle floor of a three-storey house in the village.
