About

Mui Yiu-keung is a 62-year-old man wanted in Hong Kong for a murder committed nearly 37 years ago on a Sai Kung beach. He fled Hong Kong after the crime and has been a fugitive ever since. He is newsworthy because he was recently arrested in Bangkok, Thailand, at a house in the Nong Chok district. The arrest was made at the request of Hong Kong authorities, who had been tracking him. Hong Kong's Commissioner of Police Joe Chow Yat-ming confirmed the arrest upon his return from Thailand. Mui Yiu-keung is scheduled to be extradited back to Hong Kong to face charges for the murder. His capture after such a long period highlights the persistence of law enforcement and the potential for justice to be served even decades after a crime.
