A 62-year-old Hong Kong man was arrested in Bangkok by Thai police on Monday in connection with a murder case that occurred 37 years ago in Hong Kong. According to RTHK, the arrest was made at the request of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government. The individual is a suspect in a 1989 murder case and is currently charged with illegal entry, with extradition proceedings underway.
Reports indicate that the suspect was unable to provide identification and admitted during questioning that he was wanted in Hong Kong. He revealed that he fled to Thailand in 1994, where he established a small factory, married a local woman, and fathered three children.
