HK man allegedly hid bodies of mistress, son in Shenzhen flat for 14 years

A Hong Kong man has been arrested by Shenzhen police for allegedly strangling his mistress and their two-year-old son and hiding their bodies in a flat for 14 years, South China Morning Post reported.

The allegations against Kan Wai-nam, 53, came to light last month when a helper sent to clean his rented flat in Shenzhen's Buji district, colloquially known as "Little Hong Kong", found human remains wrapped in a bag in a room she accidentally entered.

Shenzhen police identified the remains as Kan's mistress and son, according to a statement by the municipal public security bureau yesterday.

Kan was detained by police on May 4 after returning to Shenzhen. He allegedly confessed that he had killed the pair in May 2000 in one of two adjacent flats he rented and had hidden the bodies in the other one, the report said.

According to the Southern Metropolis Daily, Kan had been renting the top-floor flats since 2000 at a residential block in Buji, about 15 minutes' drive from the Luohu checkpoint.

Kan told the landlord one flat was used for accommodation and the other as a utility room, it's reported.
