This week everyone’s talking about HK’s biggest “cop kills cop”crime news in a decade:
Last Friday, a thug who planned to rob a pistol or two from police for his own use (!) had a fierce shootout with two beatcops inside a pedestrian tunnel; in the struggle he killed one cop and heavily wounded the other, but the first cop shot the thug 5 times in the chest killing the thug instantly before he died a hero himself.
Now the biggest catch: the thug was an off-duty COP himself and he possessed and used the gun of another cop he killed 5 years ago – it was a shocking unsolved murder until now. That same year, he put on a mask and used same gun to rob a bank and killed a Pakistano security guard, the case was again unsolved.The outrageous thing is, in between these two crimes in 2001, this guy went on TV’s Millionaire game show with his wife and won HK$60,000! And he was even on news footage before as a protester in a high profile HK democracy parade in 2004. He seemed to love the camera and media coverage. There will be books written about the “devil cop”(as crowned by media) for years to come, his wish somehow fulfilled.
You can count on this as one of Top Ten HK News this year 2006. KCR another one.
