A policeman did not check on a Hong Kong rape suspect who later hanged himself in custody, telling an inquest on Friday he had heard snoring and verbal responses coming from the man’s direction.
The third day of the inquest into the death of Lam Wing-chun revealed that the officer, Tai Wai-hou, skipped at least five patrols to Lam’s cell just hours before he died at the Sau Mau Ping police station on the morning of May 11, 2017.
