Chan Yiu-lung

Chan Yiu-lung, a 33-year-old Hongkonger, has been sentenced to life imprisonment after being convicted of murder and a blackmail plot. He, along with Chan Wah-hing, was found guilty by a High Court jury of murdering a man following a financial dispute. The pair then attempted to extort HK$3.6 million from the victim's wife for his "release," despite the victim already being deceased. The murder was described by the judge as hideous, and the victim was suffocated with tape before his body was disposed of and buried under concrete near Ping Yeung Village. The recent sentencing marks the culmination of this case, highlighting a brutal crime driven by financial motives and a subsequent attempt at ransom.
