HONG KONG: Malaysian anaesthesiologist Khaw Kim Sun has been found guilty by a Hong Kong court of murdering his wife and daughter using an inflatable yoga ball filled with carbon monoxide, but in the eyes of his former colleagues, he was a passionate researcher and a “guardian angel” who saved many lives.

Khaw described himself as a perfectionist and strict father as the court was presented with different facets of his personality during a 41-day retrial for murder that began in November last year.
