On October 28, 2024, a 25-year-old Indonesian domestic helper was discovered dead at the base of a waterfall in Waterfall Bay Park. Authorities suspect she sustained head injuries consistent with being hit by a hard object before drowning.
Investigations revealed that a man associated with the incident fled the scene shortly after it occurred, traveling to mainland China. On October 29, police detained a couple at the West Kowloon Station upon their return to Hong Kong. The 34-year-old British man now faces murder charges, while his 36-year-old local wife is accused of aiding a criminal.
Sources indicate that the couple had an extramarital relationship with the victim. Reports suggest that on the day of the incident, the man proposed a breakup, which led the woman to jump off the cliff in distress. After returning to the scene and seeing her in the water, the man chose not to notify authorities before fleeing.
The couple, who had been living in Ap Lei Chau and running a small business, had known the victim for over a year after meeting in Central. Their presence at Waterfall Bay Park was noted shortly before the tragedy unfolded.
Local residents alerted authorities after spotting the woman in the water around 7:30 AM. Emergency services confirmed her death upon arrival. Investigators found her belongings intact, and it was noted that she had been working in Hong Kong as a domestic helper for three to four years.
The police quickly identified the male suspect, but he and his wife had already left for the mainland by the time authorities arrived at their home. Following their return to Hong Kong, the couple was arrested. Investigators are now working to clarify the details surrounding the incident and the nature of the relationships involved.
Police Superintendent Sin Kwok-ming emphasized the suspicious circumstances of the male suspect's hasty departure from the scene and the absence of a timely report to the police. He also noted that the suspect has no known history of mental illness.
