Hong Kong police, with assistance from Thai authorities, have apprehended two fugitives in Thailand, including a murder suspect who had been evading capture for 37 years. Commissioner of Police Joe Chow Yat-ming announced the arrests upon his return from Thailand on Thursday. The murder suspect, Mui Yiu-keung, 62, is connected to a brutal 1989 murder on a Sai Kung beach. He had no departure record, suggesting he fled Hong Kong illegally. Mui's arrest completes the capture of all suspects in the Lung Ha Wan beach murder case, as three accomplices were previously tried. The suspects are expected to be handed back to Hong Kong authorities.
