I recommend that the ringleaders in the recent movement should be banished and their property confiscated. I fear it will not be possible to capture those implicated in this atrocious murder, but large rewards should be offered for their arrest, and if the men are captured, the rewards should be paid by the villagers concerned.
The widow of the murdered man is 45 years of age and has a family of 5 sons and 2 daughters. The eldest son is 23, married and has no children. The other sons are aged 18, twins 15, the youngest 4. I will try to find employment for the 4 eldest sons. The eldest daughter is aged 20 and is married. The second daughter is aged 12. I will take steps to have the family well looked after. If the property referred to above is confiscated, part of the proceeds could be devoted to the support of the widow and her family. In the meantime, the Ha Tsun district should pay for her support, say $15 a month.
Ng Ki Cheung, the elder of the Un Long district, has been detained and I am sure I shall be able to elicit important information from him.
As the murder took place in the Un Long district, the troops will visit that district to-day.
