Korean is charged in HK double murder
Print Edition
A South Korean was charged yesterday with murdering his wife and 6-year-old son at the five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel in Hong Kong.
Kim Min-ho, 42, was arrested after police found the bodies of his wife Song Wha-jeong, 42, and son Kim Tae-yun, on Sunday in a suite at the hotel, which overlooks the financial center鈥檚 Victoria Harbour.
Kim appeared in court wearing a dark blue jacket and hood. Slightly balding and wearing glasses, Kim stared blankly across the room as the two charges were read to him in Korean by an interpreter.
When asked whether he understood the charges, he said, 鈥測es, I do鈥 quietly.
A lawyer for Kim requested the case be adjourned till January 30 to allow time to obtain psychiatric reports to see whether he is fit to stand trial. He will remain in custody until then.
The Ritz-Carlton takes up the top 15 floors of Hong Kong鈥檚 tallest building, the International Commerce Centre. According to the charge sheet, Kim committed the alleged murders in room 31 on the 109th floor.
The South Korean consulate said that it had been informed of this 鈥渢ragic incident.鈥
