Pair arrested in Hong Kong after 2 dead infants found in glass bottles inside flat

Police later said the man, 24, and the woman, 22, were arrested for preventing the burial of bodies.

Detectives from the New Territories North regional crime unit are handling the case.

According to the source, the flat was rented to a tenant for HK$8,500 a month for a two-year contract in December 2022, but the tenant had not made any payments for the past six months.

On Tuesday last week, the flat owner accompanied by a property agent went to the flat and asked the tenant to sign the necessary termination documents and move out.

The case came to light on Friday morning when the worker was asked to clean up the flat.

The source said the case was classified as dead bodies found and an autopsy would be carried out.
