Hello Kitty murder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hello Kitty Murder in Hong Kong refers to the case of a night club hostess Fan Man-yee who was kidnapped and tortured in an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui in 1999. She eventually died over a month later, either by drug overdose or at the hands of the abductors.
The three male abductors, Chan Man-lok, Leung Shing-cho and Leung Wai-lun, dismembered her body and stuffed the head into a Hello Kitty doll.
The gruesome murder quickly became a sensational story in the media. The three men were convicted of manslaughter, because the remains could not identify exactly how she died. They remain in jail.
Justice Peter Nguyen of Hong Kong, who sentenced the trio, said, “Never in Hong Kong in recent years has a court heard of such cruelty, depravity, callousness, brutality, violence and viciousness.”
The publicity around the case resulted in the production and release of movies that told the story -- Human Pork Chop (2001), and There is a Secret in my Soup (2001).
