At 7 o'clock in the evening tonight (19th), when a resident walked through the door of a room in the Cheung Chau Dongdi Xiaozhu No. 1 holiday house, he found the smell of charcoal burning. Suspected that someone was burning charcoal to kill him, he called the police for help.
Police and ambulancemen arrived at the scene and found two women, 38-year-old Ho and 25-year-old Liao, lying on the bed. One of them had short hair and dressed up as a man. There was a plate of burnt charcoal next to it.
There is a pack of charcoal in the unit and a medicine with "Melatonin" written on the bottle.
The two victims were unconscious and rushed to Cheung Chau Hospital for emergency treatment. They were then transferred by the Government Flying Service helicopter to the Eastern District Hospital for further treatment.
When the woman dressed as a man was sent to the hospital, she was subjected to extra-heart pressure.
Both were in critical condition after being rescued.
The police investigated at the scene and believed that the two women were friends, and the suicide note was seized at the scene.
The case was dealt with under the "Suicide Agreement" and was handed over to the fourth team of the Cheung Chau Divisional Criminal Investigation Team for follow-up.
It is understood that the two people are short-sighted because of their financial problems.
