Hong Kong police are searching for a Chinese woman after a man’s body was found on a chair outside a commercial building in Tsim Sha Tsui early on Thursday.
Officers also arrested a 28-year-old bar staff member and charged him with illegally handling a corpse. He told police he had helped the woman move the body to the car park.
Police said they received a report at about 1.40am on Thursday of an unconscious person on a chair in a motorcycle car park outside K11 Art Mall. Paramedics pronounced a 48-year-old man dead at the scene.
A source familiar with the matter said the arrested employee had claimed to be a passer-by, but further investigation showed he had found the man inside a toilet cubicle at an upstairs bar on Carnarvon Road.
