And this movie was called "Count to ten" They eventually abandoned the filming A photographer originally came to Hong Kong to start his movie career But his plan was unsuccessful Filming had to stop halfway because of the horrible coincidence Whereby the movie script was exactly the same with the murder It freaked everyone out and no one dare to continue shooting The murder that happened inside this government building Its details were exactly the same as the plot of the movie The production of the movie aborted Yung Ching Ching "Dangerous Person 2.0" Welcome everyone to "Dangerous Person 2.0" First, I would like to introduce my mentor, Miss Yung I am Martin Yeung Today, we will continue to discuss the murder case in the Revenue Tower This case has many twists and turns with bizarre details. If So Kam Tong hadn't been caught the whole world might have thought Chu Wing Keung was the killer He fitted in all the descriptions First, he happened to live in Tai Wo Estate Along with some other descriptions For example his van traveled to all the relevant places Near the transmission station, where the murderer sent his text messages If he was a little more out of luck Just one more step, he might have fallen into a black hole God knows under what circumstances he might confess to something he didn’t do. That would be a sad ending for him The consequence would have been very serious This way the real culprit would go free This innocent person would end up in prison. Alright, what kind of person was So Kam Tong? You tell us. He lived with his parents His folks ran a mariculture business in Sam Mun Tsai They lived together in Tai Wo Estate. So was once a renovation worker he also worked as a home appliance repair technician. Most importantly, he was an air conditioning repair technician. Many people said he had a gloomy personality and he was a quiet person He didn’t like to social but he had many bad habits He loved gambling he also enjoy whoring He had a friend. Please pay attention to this friend. So had a particularly close relationship with this friend The friend was also a renovation and maintenance worker. They were classmates. Whenever So got any cash he would invite this friend to Taiwan for fun. go whoring, gambling and get drunk So Kam Tong was in heavy debt. He borrowed $ 70,000 from a moneylender for the sake of going to Taiwan with his friend. So paid for food and accommodation. As a result, he has to repay the moneylender $7,000 per month. The police found some Taiwan currencies in So’s home He used some of the cash withdrawn from the victim’s account to exchange for Taiwan dollars. He was planning to go to Taiwan with his friend in a few days. Hmm. If he hadn't been arrested, he would have gone to Taiwan for fun. Well, So was arrested and taken to the police station. He made some crucial confessions. After he was arrested, We know he was a bad guy This was not the first time he killed someone But he wouldn't confess everything to the police He said he had only committed one crime That was what he said... However, he gave additional details Yes, he said a lot of things. That was his very first statement Which became a crucial factor in determining whether it was murder or manslaughter. The things he said when he first spoke to the police all pointed to murder But of course, he later challenged the statement He claimed that the police used violence on him. They beat him severely. He said it was a female officer who hit him first. Followed by a male officer He described the beating in detail. If the confession was made under torture it could become inadmissible in court The statement was what he intended to overturn. What did he say the first time? He first confessed that ten days before he killed he victim, he was in need of money because he owed someone money. So he plotted the killing and found a place to hide the body. He said if the victim somehow recognized him, And the fact that he was targeting for victims who lived in Tai Wo Estate, where he himself resided. He couldn't let the victim survive. That is, if he robbed a girl and she lived in the same neighborhood as him, he told the police. In order not to be identified he had already, ten days before Planning on killing a neighbor And found a place to hide the body in advance Where was the hiding place? It was in a aqueduct of Lam Tsuen River He found a very hidden spot He even went inside to check that the water level was shallow Therefore it would be less likely for the body to be washed out and discovered he was targeting on a prey who was small in stature Someone he could overpower Do you remember the victim at the Revenue Tower earlier? The victim weighted less than 100 pounds Yen was also quite slender He targeted this type of ladies He confessed the entire crime process to the police He confessed on that night he saw the petite victim withdrawing money After she withdrew cash, he followed her When she walked to a quiet spot he held her from behind The girl resisted vigorously Therefore on the victim’s body he left many scratch marks from grabbing her The victim also scratched him back So the victim’s nails would contain his DNA This was crucial Later, after he took the victim to the bottom of the bridge he told her, Yen Is she told him her ATM card password He promised not to kill her. So Yen gave him the password of her ATM card. But as soon as she gave it, he immediately strangled her to death. He confessed that he choked the victim to death with both hands. After choking her to death, he went to withdraw money and run some errands But due to what we just said, he left many biological evidences behind on the victim’s body. he returned home and fetched a bunch of heavy-duty cleaning agents for air conditioning repair To clean the victim’s body thoroughly To destroy DNA evidence You would now see his pattern This was the same with the Revenue Tower murder the way Peggy's body was handled He poured the same chemicals on Peggy's body. It was worse in Peggy’s case He used a lot of cleaning agent on her private part I'll explain later why he poured so much in that area The circumstances were very gruesome. By now, the police already knew where Yen’s body was hidden. They immediately went there. And found Yen's body. Uh-huh. the deceased's body at that time was soaked in water. She was wearing a T-shirt and a skirt. Both her hands and toe nails had nail polish. Further autopsy was conducted Her body had already bloated up It was difficult to determine if the bruise on her neck was caused by strangulation. But the forensic pathologist did not exclude this possibility. At the same time, some things were found at the crime scene where the body was hidden. It was 30 meters away from the aqueduct of Lam Tsuen River The battery of the victim’s phone was found. That is, the deceased's phone battery. But the phone couldn't be found. Her work ID card was also recovered It was the string that held the work ID card. The work ID card was missing. Yes, the work ID was not found. Her Nintendo DS game console was also recovered Nintendo Nintendo belonged to the deceased. But the most important thing was that they did not find her LV handbag. Yes, the ID card, LV handbag, and phone were all missing. Yes, and the murder weapon, a knife, was also missing. Speaking of the murder weapon, the knife... Do you remember when we talked about the Revenue Tower murder? The case of Peggy In that case, the deceased was stabbed multiple times. And that knife was not found at the time. Later, the police found the murder weapon, the knife, in Yen’s case. They went back to So Kam Tong's home to search. And they found a knife at So Kam Tong's home. The way the knife was found in So's home. involved another person This relates to the friend who went to Taiwan with So from time to time Actually, before we get to this part, we can talk about So Kam Tong’s way of thinking You can see from how he bargained with Hui for the ransom. So Kam Tong gathered a lot of information. When he took the deceased's phone, he removed the SIM card. Perhaps he had already sold her phone. That was why the deceased's phone was never recovered He put her SIM card into his own phone. By doing this he found out whom her close contacts were During the days when the deceased was missing, five of Yen’s friends Kept calling her To see if she was okay , they all cared about her So Kam Tong told Hui He needed a lot money He demanded a ransom of $500,000 If Hui didn’t have the money, he could ask from those five friends of Yen So told him the names of these five friends Not just five friends He also taught the boyfriend Telling him he could contact all 80 friends of Yen’s 80 friends, that's a lot He even offered a reason to ask everyone for money He suggested an excuse of Sichuan earthquake relief to raise funds That is, he learned that Yen had 80 contacts on her phone Five of them were close friends Those five could contribute more. For the other 80, they would be asked to donate to the Sichuan earthquake relief After the process, they finally bargained down to $100,000. So during this process, you see this murderer Actually, he really has a twisted personality. to have acted that way After he had already killed the victim. Up till this moment We could see some common factors The police definitely saw it too. What is it? using a cleanser to eliminate DNA evidence from the victim's body. Plus, the ATM machine withdrawals in Tai Wo Estate. So that's how the dots linked up They put two and two together What did the police do? They worked on the murderer's best friend That is, his classmate The police went to look for him What was his name? His surname was Kwok Called Kwok Chi Fai The police found Kwok Chi Fai Kwok Chi Fai made a bad mistake by lying The police asked him about the Revenue Tower murder Why Kwok’s image was seen on CCTV Kwok’s explanation was He went to the Labor Department at the Revenue Tower to look for a job But after investigation The police confirmed Kwok didn't visit the Labor department on that day Because he did not show up in the CCTV at the Labor Department And there was a registration check-list documents at the Labor Department after checking the records No such person went to look for a job Kwok was lying The police gave him two choices One was to charge him with conspiracy to murder The second was for him to tell the truth Kwok Chi Fai chose to tell the truth He said that Peggy was killed by So Kam Tong, and only after that He received a call from So Kam Tong At that time, he did not know that someone was killed Hmm So told Kwok that he had a casual job for Kwok So said the needed another pair of hands to help with the work Hmm Therefore Kwok went to the Revenue Tower, for the job Kwok had previously helped So to do casual work When he arrived, So gave him a pair of work gloves Then he took him to the Air Handling Unit on the 33rd floor What happened afterwards? So Kam Tong was wearing a cap Kwok already found that very strange Kwok was then asked to help remove some newspapers As he was removing the newspapers, he realized He said he didn't realize it was a corpse at first Because there were newspapers covering the body The body was lying on the floor After he removed the newspapers He first saw a red plastic bag Then he saw a dead body The body of a woman wearing a white T-shirt and dark pants That was what he saw in front of him At this junction, some vile incidents happened According to Kwok Chi Fai So Kam Tong threatened him with a knife They turned around the victim’s body So ordered Kowk to rub the breast of the dead woman which means ….. sexually molested her breast Then Kwok was asked to insert his fingers into the deceased's vagina They both molested the body of the victim They might have toned down the situation already Because later they had used a powerful cleaning agent To destroy all the evidences Was there any necrophilia involved? We won’t be able to tell Doing these to the deceased really... This is really very evil Kwok Chi Fai explained to the police. He said that under the threat of So Kam Tong's knife, he was forced to do so. the police gave Kwok Chi Fai a chance. They offered him to become a prosecution witness If Kwok told the truth he would not be prosecuted for illegally disposing of the body. Getting such a good offer Kwok, of course, accepted it. He became a tainted witness. After they both molested the corpse, So and Kwok worked together Kwok lifted the feet, while So lifted the upper body. They lifted the body and put it on the top of the air handling unit The air handling unit was off the ground, wasn't it? The air handling unit was about three feet from the ground. Not just three feet. Actually, it was about ten feet from the ground to the top of the air handling unit. It was ten feet. So two people definitely need to work together to lift it up. Then they used a strong cleanser to clean the parts of the dead body they touched and then wiped down the crime scene But we remember when the police arrived at the crime scene they actually found some bloodstains on the floor A few days later in fact, So Kam Tong wanted to go back and wipe it down again but found that the place was sealed off So told Kwok that the police had found the body Yes, So and Kwok Chi Fai had a discussion talking about the case What did they say? the deceased's handbag So had stolen There was a diamond ring and a mobile phone inside it So claimed that he had sold the diamond ring for only a few dozen dollars Actually, he didn't want to share the money with Kwok he also came up with an explanation. As to why he did not take the jewelry on the deceased's body The deceased wore a Rolex watch. She was also wearing a Tiffany bracelet and a pair of earrings. Why didn't he take them? He said that the Rolex watch was engrave with a serial number. It would be difficult to sell It would be traceable leading back to him So he didn't take it. Secondly, he believed that the Tiffany bracelet was fake So it wasn't worth much. Thirdly, he said that these earrings may be valuable when they were purchased Both they have no re-sale value Because they were pearl earrings, And not diamond earrings. Pearls are valuable when purchased, but not when sold. This explained why there were still so many pieces of jewelry on the deceased Remained intact Due to Kwok’s confession to the previous murder the police have everything in detail According to Kwok’s statement, the first murder was committed by So Kam Tong the police immediately returned to So Kam Tong's home to conduct another search This time, they found the knife. The knife that killed Peggy The forensic doctor later confirmed that the wound matches the shape of this knife. That means the knife that killed Yen was never found. What hadn't been found now includes two handbags. One expensive handbag belonged to the first victim. Along with the second victim's expensive handbag. Both of them were never found The murder weapon for the first case was found The weapon for the second case was never found Hmm. Alright, this murderer was very cunning. He was initially arrested for Yen’s murder He told the police at the first instance that he had been looking for a place to hide the body ten days in advance But after he retained a lawyer to represent him The first thing he did in court was to refute what he had said before His excuse was that the police beat him And obtained a confession by torture He also displayed a very bad attitude in court Towards the victim's family Yen's family members who were attending the hearing This murderer, not only did he not show any remorse he also treated the family members with gestures of contempt In fact, So Kam Tong had already paved a way for himself and wanted to use manslaughter as a defense How could he make his case for manslaughter? He said that at the material time, regarding Yen When he choked her, he didn’t intend to kill her He just wanted to choke her unconscious And why did he want to choke her? Because she resisted very vigorously Which caused him to apply excessive force. But he didn't intend to kill her. Although she died later on. He also said that he had planned to go to the ATM and return To check on Yen and resuscitate her all these are nonsense When he returned, he had his cleaning gear with him. all he was thinking was clearing away the evidence. Alright, but he had already paved this for himself Because he had a lawyer. He wanted to overturn his previous statements We can talk about the order of the trials for these two cases. The first case was heard on March 24, 2009. It was March 24, 2009. This was the case involving the airline ground crew The trial for the murder of Yau Hui Yin, Yen began. The trial lasted for 6 days, ending on March 30, 2009. The jury deliberated for only 4 hours. They unanimously found So guilty. The main reason for the guilty verdict was because he had, ten days before ten days before the murder already been looking for a place to hide the victim i.e., a place to hide the body. It meant this piece of evidence could not be overturned. So could not prove also That he was coerced into confessing by the police. The jury did not believe him. So, he was found guilty. And then? Then, the trial for the second case began on March 1, 2010. It was the murder of Peggy at the Revenue Tower So Kam Tong's approach for this case was completely different. He remained silent throughout the entire process. He didn't say anything. Even when asked if he understood the charges, he didn't answer. At one point, the judge even had to send him to Siu Lam (Psychiatric Treatment Center) for evaluation to see if he was "fit to Plead" essentially testing if he was mentally competent. the trial lasted for a few days. The trial lasted until March 9th That's about 8 days The jury retired to deliberate It was quick, it took only 3 hours They unanimously found him guilty of murder He appealed both cases Incredibly, he succeeded in appealing the first murder case He was granted a retrial What reason did he use to succeed in his appeal? That's it Do you remember Chu Wing Keung He was Yen's ex-boyfriend He suffered from severe depression The police arrested him by mistake He was subject to some unfair treatment It was also because the police wrongly arrested him Leading to his depression becoming very severe Later, he sued the Commissioner of Police His complained against the police And so forth At that time, the Independent Police Complaints Council felt that the case needed further investigation These materials letters back and forth Legally known as Unused material That is, these things are not closely related to this case But during the investigation process Whether there is a relationship or not No matter how serious the matter is Or how trivial it is Whatever documents in possession of the prosecution The prosecution side (i.e. the government) must provide must provide all the documents to the defense lawyer. These are called unused documents. Unused material (unused material) However, the prosecution did not disclose to the defense about Chu's complaints on police violence. Chu's complaint being beaten up by the police was not disclosed to the defense Yes, what is the relevance of these materials? Actually, they were very relevant. How was So Kam Tong treated at the police station? He can use this as evidence. There was such precedent of violence The fact that Chu was beaten up Could be used to show So was beaten as well These materials will be used. to defend oneself to claim that he was coerced into confessing He wanted to claim that he was coerced into confessing. He wanted to retract his statement. This was unfavorable to the prosecution That's why. You may think this is unfair But the case was overturned. The court had to retry the case. This was due to one reason: Chu And it's quite bizarre. Note the time gaps in between the trials the case involving the murder of Yen was heard first. Then, approximately less than a year later... The case involving Peggy was being heard. Peggy's case was strong So didn’t have any valid reason for appeal. His appeal was immediately rejected. But because he discovered that the prosecution failed to disclose certain matters, which should have been disclosed. Therefore, the court would rehear Yen’s case. But the timing of the rehearing his appeal against the conviction on Peggy’s case He lost his appeal Meaning Peggy's case was final That is, for So he was facing a life imprisonment regardless He destiny was set whether or not he can overturn the manslaughter charge on Yen’s case It was no longer relevant So what did he do? He chose to plead guilty on the retrial When he appear in court again, he pleaded guilty. Of course, he hoped that the court would find him guilty of manslaughter. But it didn't work. The court said that the charge would remain as murder. Still a life imprisonment But for him, he killed two people. He has already been sentenced to life imprisonment in one of the cases. Ten sentences would be the same. He only has one lifetime So he didn't appeal again. His reason for not appearing was rather “grand” Trying to make himself look good Why did he plead guilty? This had been a very common way for prisoners We are not ruling out some might be genuine So said he became a Christian This is quite common with prisoners they often tell the court they become believers of God. And reformed to become good people. It is up to you, whether or not to believe him. But here, I'll mention something else. Chu Wing Keung was quite wrenched Chu was wronged. He was arrested Under everyone's scrutiny at that time He was driving to work that day He experienced a heartbreak relationship with the deceased He was just starting to heal Then he encountered this incident in front of everyone in the neighborhood He was arrested in such a embarrassing manner And his complaint Was never mentioned by anyone in open court Hmm Well No one cleared his name in public Nor did they clarify the situation That he was not a suspect Chu Wing Keung was certainly a victim We should all give him justice. Due to this incident, he complained about being subjected to police brutality and being misunderstood He suffered from depression Developed s a fear for police Meaning that whenever he sees a police officer, he gets very nervous He gets scared just by seeing a police officer from the street corner He suffers from schizophrenia He needs to take medication continuously changes job frequently because he could not concentrate he could not keep any job for long His parents and him were living off their savings. In the end, he filed a lawsuit against the police Of which he was unable to handle Chu’s uncle was left to handle it on his behalf demanding compensation from the government. Chu’s father also suffered he was severely depressed because of this incident He got cancer. So actually, his entire family has been greatly affected. Another person who has been greatly affected was Hui Hui was Yen's boyfriend. They had a very sweet relationship. Although they've only known each other for a year or so, the man had a strong desire to marry her. He created a website. The name of the website is "Someday We Will Meet Again in Heaven." " I really hope to hear you say "I do" to me. " I really hope to see you in a wedding dress. I really hope to spend my life with you. But I can only wait to see you again in the next life. Every year he went to pay homage to Yen His love for her was everlasting the case ends here Although there are a lot of tidbits I can tell you. One of the tidbits is In Peggy's case. The amount of bounty for Peggy Was one the highest bounty during that time Who was the highest, do you know? Yip Kai Foon and Kwai Ping Hung You're familiar with it, one million. And you're not familiar with it? You and I are equally familiar with that We handled that cases together It was 1 million at that time That was the largest amount. Peggy was the second highest bounty $700000 $700000 So it's like that movie "The Pig, The Snake and The Pigeon" Comparing the first, second, and third places. Three wanted criminals, whom deserved the highest bounty That was another tidbit back then. The unfinished movie The movie "Count to Ten" The filming was aborted The photographer came to Hong Kong with the intention of making a big splash. But it didn’t end well The filming stopped halfway through. The reason was that the story in the movie scrip. was exactly the same with the murder It scared everyone to the point of not daring to continue to film. The movie was about someone being murdered inside a government building. The circumstances of Peggy’s case were identical to the plot of the movie. So this movie was not never finished Of course, Peggy's family's jewelry business also declined due to Peggy's death. the business perished That's all the parts of the case we're going to talk about today.
