Man held over teens killing taken to hospital

A CHINESE citizen arrested in Hong Kong and accused of murdering his two teenage nephews in the United States was taken to hospital yesterday after complaining he was “muddle-headed.”

Shi Deyun was detained by police at Hong Kong airport last month after arriving on a flight from Los Angeles.

The 44-year-old has been in custody pending a US extradition request but complained of feeling unwell when he appeared in court for a bail hearing.

“I am muddle-headed now... I know that my condition is poor,” he told the city’s Eastern Magistrates’ Court.

He also said he felt threatened.

“I feel a lot of people (are) surrounding me trying to kill me,” he said.

The court’s duty magistrate refused to grant bail and ordered that Shi be sent to a hospital for a check-up.

Shi is accused of murdering his nephews, aged 15 and 16, after his wife filed for divorce, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The bodies of the boys were discovered by their mother at their home in the city.

Both teenagers had suffered blunt force trauma, the paper reported.

Media reports said Shi was heading to China’s mainland, which unlike Hong Kong does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.

But Shi denied he was fleeing, saying that he was heading to the southern city of Shenzhen via Hong Kong to deal with business.

According to Hong Kong police, once his extradition has been approved, US marshals will collect Shi from Hong Kong within 30 days.
