The men who had been released walked along the more towards Kowloon where they made a report to the police on arrival. Early yesterday morning word was received that the wrecked junk had been found turning the kidnapping and robbery into murder. It is not yet certain as to who the dead man is. He received a bullet wound in the groin and probably died through the loss of blood. The other victim, Wong Yin, 51, foki, was in an exhausted condition when found and also had a wound in the shoulder which is also been sustained believed to haro through a bullet. He is at present in hospital.

A description of the pirates has been circulated, but it is believed that they have in all probability returned to Chinese territory.
