Police say murder suspect recently shared suicidal thoughts and has mental illness history; welfare groups urge expansion of carer services
A woman accused of killing her mother and younger brother before attempting suicide is believed to have acted under mental stress, Hong Kong police have said, while the government is facing mounting pressure to rapidly expand its carer services.
Welfare groups on Tuesday urged authorities to widen their database and related services to cover more types of high-risk carers across all of the city’s 18 districts, a day after a 52-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of murdering her mother and younger brother in a flat in Cheung Sha Wan.
The woman was found sitting at the edge of the building’s roof, before emergency services pulled her to safety.
