23-08-2010

An American teacher has appeared in court accused of killing a 24-year-old Hong Kong man during a brawl in Tsim Sha Tsui. The incident happened outside a bar in Knutsford Terrace last Wednesday.

The American, Gannon Walter Sutter Jow, 28, has also been charged with one count of attempted murder. No plea was taken. The case has been adjourned until Friday to give police time to carry out identification procedures.

Cheung Kin-lung died from a single stab wound to his stomach. Another man was injured in the back during the brawl, which involved more than ten people from two groups.
