An elderly woman has been charged with murder two days after she and her husband were found unconscious in a hotel room in Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui, with the man sustaining a potentially fatal stab wound to the neck.
“Police today laid a holding charge against a 73-year-old woman with one count of murder,” the force said on Saturday.
The woman was arrested on Thursday in connection with a murder and attempted suicide case that occurred on the same day.
A police spokesman said the case would be mentioned at Kowloon City Court on January 26.
Cleaners at the Ramada Grand hotel on Austin Avenue discovered the woman and her 77-year-old husband lying on their room’s bed at about 4.50pm on Thursday, police said.
Emergency services rushed them to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, but the man was pronounced dead at 5.19pm.
