The Hong Kong mother whose daughter was killed in Taiwan in 2018 lambasts authorities in the Chinese city for letting the man who confessed to the crime walk free, while Hong Kong blamed self-ruled Taiwan for “political manipulation” in the case.
Chan Tong-kai was suspected in the death of Poon Hiu-wing — his girlfriend at the time — while on vacation in Taiwan before returning to Hong Kong.
But the case could not proceed because of lack of cooperation between Hong Kong, the semi-autonomous Chinese city, and Taiwan. China claims Taiwan as part of its territory.Taiwan has yet to issue Chan a visa to enter the self-ruled island, according to Peter Koon, a priest who has been helping Chan. Hong Kong Secretary for Security Chris Tang said Wednesday that he was “sympathetic” to Poon’s mother, and he was aware of Chan’s intention to travel to Taiwan to surrender.
The case led Hong Kong authorities to propose an extradition bill in 2019, which would allow Hong Kong to extradite suspects to places with which it does not have extradition agreements including Taiwan and mainland China.
