MURDERED MAN.
GRIM DISCOVERY IN KING'S PARK
What appears to be a case of cold-blooded murder was discover ed on the top of a small hill near the recreation grounde at King's Park, Kowloon, on Saturday, when the dead body a Chinese male, unknown, was found by a Chinese boy scout named S. Luke, who Inter reported the incident to the Police.
Rigor mortis had already set in when the body was discovered, The face, hands and clothing of the deconsed were covered with blood and particles of earth.
The theory of murder le held by the police, who report that a wide wound extends from the lower daw on the left side of the man's face to his eye, and it is believed this was inflicted with the blunt edge of some metal Instrument. Ap parently there had been a struggle, A cloth shoe was on the left heel of the dead body, and another cloth ahoe was found on a rock near- by. Behind the body there was a pair of wooden clogs, of the type popularly word by Chinese labourers, especially hawkers working in markets.
