Chau Hoi-leung
Do we call this the prodigal son or more or even much worst? Meet Chau Hoi-leung, 30 years who murdered and ate his parents. Problems started when his parents told him to go
out and get a job for himself, as they could no longer fund his lavish style of living. Instead of taking it as a challenge, he rather took it as an embarrassment from his parents. Keeping this at heart, after a while, Chau Hoi-leung invited his parents for lunch at his Hong Kong flat where he eventually murdered and ate them. He accused his parents for abandoning him, and later slaughtered them with the aid of his friend Tse Chun-kei, 36. It was however revealed in court that Hoi-leung and Chun-kei had planned the murder for a period of three months, where they have been buying the various materials like knives, fridges, microwaves and a rice cooker to execute their plots. Chau Hoi-leung parents, Chau Wing-ki, 65, and Siu Yuet-yee, 62, thought it was for a reunion. After the act, he tried to cover up the deaths by reporting his parents missing and told police that they had said they were going to mainland China to enjoy themselves.
