A neighbour of the family, Mrs Ng, told The New Paper that the accused was a private-hire car driver. He lived in the flat with his wife, a tuition teacher.
“Usually, he is cheerful and would always tease my daughter. But recently he became skinnier, and you can tell he was not as cheerful as before”, she said.
