At about 9:30 am, he was returning from his rounds of inspection and was going down the path in Section A of the cemetery when he saw deceased lying on his back. Wit Mess guessed he was dead. He noticed two cords; round deceas- ed's neck. He reported of what he saw to the Police, and later officers of the No. 3 Folice Station arrived on the scene.

Just as he made the discovery of something hard strapped to one of the man's legs, he was assaulted, and, after a short struggle, knocked down. The man defective called on him to stop, broke away and

ran off The but the request was not complied

The detective then searched the man-again and found a cloth bag' containing twelve taes of oplum strapped to his leg.

The injured man was later re- moved to the Kowloon Hospital suffering from a wound near the groin, His condition 18 serious.
