Well said L-G. where exactly is Yan Yans?

The husband was heading past the island bar for the ferry shortly after five, two cops trying to catch up, but the were quite a few lurking around walking up and down sort of waiting.

Looked lime a SOCO team came off the same ferry.

The flat is wrapped up tight and loads of men in White jumpsuits

They just took the body out, wrapped in white,and are pushing it along the street on a trolley. No ambulance.

This answers my question then. I live very very close to the flat in question.

I was on a ferry once

did they arrest you and bag you over your head?

the trolly was stil on the peer wen the 1130 arrived on lama at midnite

I saw the trolley at 11pm at the pier.

Many people got off the ferry, they could pass by and saw the trolley.

A few shops's owner and passer-by were shocked and scared to witness the trolley pulling along the street.

The point is, police should wrap the body better, or transfer it by ambulance. It's a respect to lady and consider the feeling of the local residents.

Hope the police will evaluate the way they handling similar cases.

Amazing that The Mail on Sunday has better coverage of this than local news sources.

There's no doubt who was arrested - the police took him off the ferry without the bag on his head and kept him on the pier for several minutes before producing the bag. Initially they made a poor attempt to cover his head with a policeman's jacket, but most people waiting for the ferry saw who it was.

Indeed, it is far more informative than SCMP, except for the reference to hedge fund companies in Yung Shue Wan, and the British Embassy.

How exactly did the police miss the body behind the couch? Sounds like total incompetence from start to finish. They're all just standing round giggling at each other at the scene.

Incompetence of not only the police but also their sniffer dogs.

Initially it was a missing persons case, so they weren't looking for a murder victim, it only became a criminal case on Friday after investigation and searches on Lamma.

to be honest if you look at the language of the text.I don't think it was written by a westerner, that set the alarm bells ringing for me. The police knew of this mans reputation, that should of got them more motivated in this case.

<Sounds like total incompetence from start to finish. They're all just standing round giggling at each other at the scene.>

Well the body has been found and a suspect is in custody. And the body may not have been in the flat at the time it was searched. It's probably better to wait for the facts to emerge before making hasty judgements.

I think the "sounds like" qualified my opinion. From where I stand, it looks like total incompetence and I think it is more likely than not that the murderer didn't carry the body from place to place for the past few days. It doesn't help them karting around the body in such an undigified manner and for all to see for such a long time. What exacerbates it is that every time I have to walk past, the police seem to be having a ball.

Really pleased for you if you think the police have been brilliant from the beginning to this awful end.

Thanks. Don't really know if they've been brilliant or otherwise. A lot of things about the case we don't know yet. Sometimes pointing fingers prematurely may be less than helpful. Let's wait until the facts emerge and make informed comments if they are called for.

Walking by the crime scene right on the path to Hung Shing Yeh beach this morning, on my way to and from Boostcamp, the G/F flat is cordoned off now with police tape and two of our local constables are guarding it from curious onlookers.

As expected, Apple Daily today even published a photo of the trolley with the wrapped-up body at the ferry pier, something I refused to do last night.

From the Govt. News website:
Man arrested for Lamma murder

Besides all these police matters above, let's think about the victim and Julia and her little girl in this sad tragedy instead. Just two days ago, Julia asked me about organising Lammaites for a search for her aunt up around the windturbine today.... This email just in from a friend:

"Could you write a little note along the lines of our thoughts turn to the friends and relatives of the victim. I think the sensational Lamma murder aspect is going to overshadow that the victim was someone's loved one. I would hate to think of them in England logging on, and with their loved one dying in a foreign country so far from home, and the only quotes are from people who think the police did a bad job.

"I had noticed her out and about in the village in the last couple of weeks with her great-niece. It was obvious they were happy with each other's company, and that she was enjoying her time with the little girl."

I agree with this sentiment, my heart-felt sympathies go out to Julia & her 3-year-old daughter in this double tragedy, losing her "second mother" and her husband arrested. I'm sure our Lamma community will come together and offer them all our help and support she will need.
