Crazed Killer Hacks At Victims With Two Choppers

Police have thrown out a drag-net in Kowloon in their efforts to trap a double- murderer whose clothing is blood-stained and who is believed to have been carrying two meat choppers.

Awakened at 3.30 a.m. to-day by hideous screams, residents of Keelung Street, off Nathan Road, rushed into the ground-floor of one of the houses and saw a ghastly murder scene.

Rioting became general, lasting for over two hours. In street fighting, the combatants employed sticks, stones and other missiles as weapons.
