Mother’s Day tragedy as ailing Hong Kong woman, disabled son found dead in murder-suicide case
- Woman, 58, believed to have burned charcoal to commit suicide with 32-year-old son at her Kwai Chung home on Mother’s Day, source says
- Insider adds woman has been the primary carer for her son for more than two decades since separating from husband
A Hong Kong woman and her mentally disabled son were found dead in a Kwai Fong flat on Monday, in a murder-suicide suspected to be related to her concerns she could not care for him due to her own illness, the Post has learned.
The woman was the primary carer for her son, who had a moderate intellectual disability, for more than two decades since she separated from her husband, the insider added.
The case came to light when the woman’s elder sister visited them at Kwai Yan House in Kwai Fong Estate at around 11.56am.
According to police, she found her younger sister and nephew unresponsive in the same bed with a tray of burnt charcoal discovered on the floor.
Emergency personnel were sent to the flat after they received a report from the elder sister.
