Hong Kong police arrest 2, including 15-year-old boy, for allegedly vandalising grave of pop band Beyond’s lead singer

A source familiar with the case said the arrests were linked to two videos that began circulating online in the afternoon.

The clips show a young man, calling himself “Society Destroyer” and saying he will “pay his respects” to Wong, while swearing at the late singer’s grave. He then pours what appears to be a bottle of Coca Cola onto the memorial plaque, licking up the spilled liquid afterwards.

The man bites bits of wrapping and petals off a bouquet placed at the grave and scrawls Chinese phrases on a guitar-shaped carving.

The video also shows Wong’s portrait being kicked as one of the men throws and kicks tribute items off a platform on the grave. The man later beats the portrait with a hammer.

Social media users in a Facebook group for Wong’s fans, where the two videos have circulated, condemned the man’s behaviour.

“You can dislike Ka-kui, but can you not mess with his memorial plaque?” one user named Ngan Eric said.

A Post search found a YouTube channel with videos featuring the same name as what was used in the latest clips. Videos on the channel show a young man engaging in a number of instances of antisocial behaviour, such as lying down and rolling forward on a street and begging in a fast-food restaurant chain.

Police are investigating the incident.

Beyond’s Wong fell off the stage while shooting a game show in Japan in June 1993. He sustained massive head injuries and fell into a coma immediately, before being pronounced dead on June 30 that year.
