Deputy Senior Superintendent (Operations) of the West Kowloon Regional Criminal Headquarters Zhong Yalun explained the case in the early hours of today (19th). The 56-year-old male tenant who came to a room informed that a 14-year-old boy was unconscious in the room. The ambulance crew arrived and confirmed that the boy had died.
As the case involved the death of an underage boy for unknown reasons, the police attached great importance to the case and transferred it to the Kowloon West Regional Crime Squad yesterday (18th) for follow-up.
After checking the CCTV footage, the police found that the deceased entered the hotel room involved with another local teenager at 3:00 a.m. on Saturday, and stayed with the 56-year-old male tenant involved for several hours.
At about 6:00 a.m. that day, the local teenager left alone, while the other two did not leave the room until the police received a report.
After in-depth analysis and investigation, the detectives of the serious crime team found the 15-year-old local boy involved in the case in Ngau Tau Kok District at about 8 o'clock last night, and seized more than 720 grams of suspected cocaine in his residence, with a market value of about 700,000 yuan.
Since suspected drug-taking tools were also seized in the hotel room, the police initially believed that the case was related to drugs, and did not rule out that the three people involved in the case had taken drugs together in the room. As a result, the 14-year-old boy died of a drug overdose, but the exact cause of death has yet to be determined after an autopsy.
Chung Ya Lun believes that the drugs in the case were sold to the West Kowloon District, and the source of the drugs and the background of the persons involved will still be traced.
It is understood that the deceased was Ukrainian, born and raised in Hong Kong, and was friends with the 15-year-old local boy involved in the case. It is believed that he met the 56-year-old man involved in the case because of drugs.
The 56-year-old man is a Bahamian citizen and holds a "street permit". He was arrested on suspicion of "abuse or neglect of children or juveniles under his supervision" and "allowing the premises to be used for smoking dangerous drugs"; as for the 15-year-old local boy They were arrested on suspicion of "trafficking dangerous drugs" and are being detained for investigation. It is reported that both of them have criminal records.
As for the 47-year-old father of the boy, he was also arrested for "trafficking in dangerous drugs" and was also signed by a black cloth mask.
