BODIES OF WOMAN

BOY DISCOVERED..

The probable murder of an elderly boat woman and a lad 16 years of age, the circumstances of which are enveloped in mystery, has come to the knowledge of the Police by the discovery of the two bodies floating in the harbour; while the dieap- pearance of several articles of jewellery from the old woman's bont suggests that the murder followed a robbery,

On Wednesday morning the police found the body of Ko Ng, a Chinese woman about 60 years of age, floating in the Kowloon Naval Camber. There was a stab wound shoulder just below the left. penetrating the left lung. The wound was apparently caused by a knife or a dagger, and the woman had evidently died of haemorrhage, About twenty-four hours later the body of Cheung Fo, a boy 16 years of age, was found Boating under the No. 1 Wharf of the Kow-

Godowns. There were loon marks of violence on the body and death was certified as being due to drowning.

It was subacquently discovered that the woman owned a sampan which was usually tied up alongside the M. B. K. coalyard wharf in the Yaumal! typhoon shelter, where she piled for hire, and that the lad was her only companion,

The Pallec have been unable to determine when the crime was coin- mitted, but according to the medical officer who examined the bodies, death had occurred more than 48 hours before they were retrieved

from the water.

The boat was found drifting at 11.30 a.m. yesterday off the Kwong Hip Loong Shipyard, Shamshuipo. A wooden case and two tin boxes were found broken open. Accord ing to the daughter of the old woman a quantity of jewellery to the value of $391 was stolen.
