After spending 18 months in custody on money-laundering charges, Chan Tong-kai, wanted for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend in Taiwan, walked out of Pik Uk Correctional Institution in Clear Water Bay on Wednesday morning.
“I am willing, for my impulsive act and things I did wrong, to surrender myself to Taiwan to face sentencing,” he said, adding that he would have to accept the consequences for the "worst mistake" he had ever made.
He added: “I hope this can make her family feel slightly relieved, and (the deceased girlfriend) can rest in peace.”
"Even though I've made a completely terrible mistake, they still care for me, support me and won't give up on me." “就算我犯下了一个弥天大错，他们给了我很多支持和关怀，不离不弃。”
"To society, I can only say sorry. I hope for people's forgiveness. I hope that people can give me a chance to live again, give me a chance to pay back society."
Taiwan's request to send law enforcement officers to Hong Kong to fetch a fugitive murder suspect has been turned down by the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
In a statement released early Wednesday morning, the SAR government said that it is tantamount to cross-jurisdiction law enforcement, which is a disrespect for Hong Kong's jurisdictional power and is totally unacceptable.
