Police in Hong Kong are investigating the deaths of an elderly man and woman found in a Sau Mau Ping flat. The man, 77, is believed to have killed his 71-year-old ex-wife before taking his own life. Investigators suspect the man felt hopeless after their separation, a situation possibly exacerbated by his son's suicide in 2018. The brother of the deceased man alerted authorities after receiving a photograph of what appeared to be a suicide note. AI
