Hong Kong mall stabbing: suspect linked to brutal deaths of 2 women is fit for plea, psychiatrists c

A jobless man in Hong Kong who allegedly stabbed two women to death at a shopping centre was found fit for plea by psychiatrists and would remain in custody for further police investigation, a court heard on Monday.

Szeto Sing-kwong, 39, arrived again at Kwun Tong Court in the morning to face two counts of murder. He was not required to enter a plea at this stage as the prosecution had applied for an adjournment to await autopsy and forensic reports, as well as more evidence from police.
