Hong Kong police have arrested at the weekend a man who took part in a burglary and murder 30 years ago in the city.
The force said the arrested 59-year-old man arrived from Shenzhen mainland China as a visitor for his uncle's burial, had been charged with murder and attempted robbery and appearing in Kowloon City Court today.
The attempted robbery was said to have taken place on the 9th of June, 1991 and involved three men armed with a pistol and hammer robbing the Shun Fat Company second-hand watch shop on Pei Ho Street, police said.
The gun was fired at one of the company's staff during the robbery which later died in the hospital. The three robbers eventually fled the shop empty-handed and drove off with a car after failing to break a targeted glass display cabinet, police said.
They were said to have left the car behind and took to their heels after the car was caught up in the traffic congestion while escaping. Unluckily, one of them who got injured left the blood-stained T-shirt in the car, a report from the police added.
After the police investigation, they said the suspect’s fingerprints matched those collected at the scene of the failed robbery at a Sham Shui Po watch shop in 1991 and also the results of a DNA test on a bloodstained T-shirt found in their car matched the suspect's own.
“We believe he was one of the robbers. We are still investigating his role to determine if he was the one who opened fire or used a hammer to smash the display cabinet,” the police said
The force said police were still hunting the other two men in connection with the case.
