Hong Kong Police have confirmed reports that a 30-year-old Filipino woman was found dead inside a room in the Tuen Mun flat she shared with her French husband, said to work as an associate professor at City University.
The 48-year-old husband reportedly called the police
at 4:13pm on Dec 31 to say he found his wife unconscious inside a barricaded
room in their flat at Avignon in So Kwun Wat, Tuen Mun.
Paramedics who responded to the call declared the
woman dead at the scene. No arrests were made in connection with the case, which
has been temporarily classified as “dead body found” pending an autopsy.

But the husband was subsequently arrested for drug
possession after police officers reportedly found cocaine during a search of
the flat.
According to earlier reports, the husband had told the
police he and wife had argued over sleeping times, so he went to sleep in the
living room, leaving his wife inside the room.

By 4pm, the man and the helper had tried to enter
the room but it was blocked from inside, prompting the professor to call the
police.
Various reports said the man teaches Southeast Asian
politics at City U.
