The insurance broker claimed that because he failed to borrow money from his father, he stabbed him to death with a knife and abandoned the body to the sea opposite Huafu Village.

The police also discovered that about 200,000 yuan in the account of the deceased was transferred away.
The broker had fled to Taiwan, but after his father's body was found, he returned to Hong Kong and confessed to killing his father.
He was convicted of murder and pleaded guilty to theft after trial. The case was sentenced in the High Court today (5th). The judge described the case as a tragedy and revealed that the defendant's father had committed domestic violence against the defendant and his mother. He has no right to commit cold-blooded crimes, and the defendant shall be sentenced to life in accordance with the law.

The official reprimanded the defendant for no right to commit cold-blooded murders
The judge described the case as a tragedy when sentenced today, and the defendant undoubtedly killed the other party in order to obtain his father's money.
The judge also pointed out that although the defendant’s father was not a good father and had used violence against the defendant and his mother, the defendant had no right to commit acts in cold blood.
For murder, the judge sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment in accordance with the law.
Debt pressure is not an excuse to kill his father
The judge said that the defendant was under pressure to repay the debt, but it was not an excuse to kill his father and steal.
The defendant pleaded guilty to theft and sentenced him to imprisonment for 2 years and 3 months, and executed at the same time as the sentence for murder.
According to the case, the defendant and his father entered their father’s unit in Po Tin Village, Tuen Mun, at 11 am on December 4, 2018. The defendant left at nearly 1 noon.
On the same day, he asked the GoGoVan driver to deliver goods from Tuen Mun to Pokfulam, and then changed to the next day.
The defendant used his father's ATM card to transfer 200,000 yuan
The truck arrived at Baotian Village at about 11 a.m. on December 5, and the defendant transported the plastic box to the truck.
The truck drove to Wah Fu Village, and the defendant moved the plastic box into Wah Lok Building.
The CCTV filmed the defendant walking towards Waterfall Bay Road with a white suitcase and a suitcase from the evening of that night to the early morning of the next day.
When he took it back, he had not carried the two boxes.
In addition, the defendant repeatedly used his father's ATM card to withdraw and transfer money from the day of the case to December 6, involving approximately 200,000 yuan.

On the morning of December 6, the red, white and blue plastic bag carrying the father's body was found floating on the waters off Waterfall Bay Road, and the case was exposed.
On the same day, the defendant flew to Taiwan.
When a police officer called the defendant to inform his father's death, the defendant was emotional during the call and admitted to killing his father.
He returned to Hong Kong the same night and was arrested at the airport. The warning said: "I wanted to borrow money from my dad, but I used to talk about swearing at me and hit me with my hand. After a few moments, I don’t want to do the same.”
Forensic doctor suspected that the deceased was unconscious when attacked
The forensic doctor stated that his father had stab wounds on his neck and body, but the six stab wounds on the neck were fatal.
In addition, Li's father was found to have alcohol and sleeping pills in his blood. The forensic doctor stated that Li's father's hands showed no signs of resistance, and he believed that he was not awake at the time of the crime.
The defendant claimed that his father had called his wife a prostitute
The defendant claimed in his own defense that his wife was pregnant before the incident and the financial pressure increased greatly, so he borrowed 200,000 yuan from usury.
At the same time, his intermediary business was unable to recover the money, so he was unable to repay the debt, so he planned to commit suicide.
In order to see his father for the last time, he made an appointment to meet each other.
In the father's unit, the defendant massaged the other party for a loan of 200,000 yuan during the period.
But his father described him as a "yacht boy", and he also said: "There will be a wife, some are chickens, and none of them are you."
The father attacked him with a chair, and the defendant took out the knife he intended to commit suicide from the bag, turned around and inserted his father, and then inserted two or three more knives.
He recovered and found that he had done something wrong and his father had died.
