A British man is set to appear in court tomorrow, facing charges for the murder of a 25-year-old Indonesian domestic helper at Waterfall Bay Park. The victim's body was discovered submerged at the base of the waterfall early Monday morning, showing signs of injury to her forehead and the back of her head, indicating a violent assault prior to her drowning.
The investigation quickly identified the 34-year-old suspect, who holds a Hong Kong ID. He was arrested alongside his 36-year-old wife at West Kowloon Station on Tuesday. The couple had attempted to flee to Mainland China shortly after the incident but returned to Hong Kong, where they were detained.
Authorities confirmed that the suspect will appear at the Eastern Magistrates' Courts tomorrow morning to face murder charges. His wife, believed to have aided in the crime, has been released on bail and is required to check in with police later in November.
Witness accounts indicate that the victim was last seen with the suspect on Sunday night, about 40 minutes before he left the area alone by taxi. His swift departure and lack of communication with authorities raised immediate suspicions.
The case continues to develop as the investigation unfolds.
英國男子被控謀殺印尼女傭，明日出庭
一名英國男子將於明日出庭，面對控以謀殺一名25歲印尼女傭的指控。受害者的屍體於星期一早上在瀑布灣公園被發現，浸在水中，顯示出額頭和後腦部的傷痕，顯示她在淹死前遭受了暴力襲擊。
調查迅速鎖定了這名34歲的嫌疑人，他持有香港身份證。星期二，他與36歲的妻子在西九龍站被警方拘捕。這對夫婦在事件發生後試圖逃往中國大陸，但隨後返回香港被拘留。
當局已確認嫌疑人將於明日早上在東區裁判法院出庭面對謀殺指控。他的妻子被懷疑協助犯罪，已獲准保釋，並需於11月底回報警方。
目擊者指出，受害者最後一次與嫌疑人出現是在星期日晚上，距離他獨自搭的士離開現場約40分鐘。他的快速離開和未與當局聯絡引起了即時懷疑。
案件隨著調查的進展仍在發展中。
