A British businessman was charged with murder on Thursday after an Indonesian domestic helper was found dead at a waterfall in southern Hong Kong.
The 34-year-old British national, who holds a Hong Kong identity card, was arrested with his wife at the high-speed railway station in West Kowloon when they returned to the city on Tuesday.
The case will be mentioned at Eastern Court on Friday morning, a police spokesman said.
The force said the man went to Waterfall Bay Park near Wah Fu Estate in Pok Fu Lam with the victim at around 11pm on Sunday before he rushed off alone in a taxi.

The 25-year-old woman, whose body was discovered at the bottom of the waterfall on Monday morning, was believed to have drowned after she was hit with a hard object.
The man’s wife, a 36-year-old local woman, was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. She was released on bail and is required to report back to police late next month.
Police earlier said the pair knew each other but the man was not the helper’s employer.
