A 19-year-old Hong Kong man jumped to his death shortly after news broke that his father and grandfather had been stabbed to death

A 19-year-old Hong Kong man leapt fatally from a building shortly after reporting the death of his grandfather and father, who were found in their village home on Tuesday evening with stab wounds inflicted by sharp objects.

Police on Wednesday said they had classified the two cases as murder and suicide and were looking into the causes.

Yuen Long assistant district commander Johnathan Kwan Chun-him said police received a call from a 19-year-old man regarding the death of his grandfather and father in a ground-floor flat in Chun Hing San Tsuen, off Wang Tat Road, at 8.10pm on Tuesday

Five minutes later, the force received a suspected suicide report, later confirmed to be the teen.

Officers went to the village house and found on the bodies of the 93-year-old grandfather and his 69-year-old son. A forensic examination showed the two men had been stabbed with sharp objects.

“Our initial findings found out there were multiple wounds on the 93-year-old man’s face and neck, and heavy bleeding over his body,” Kwan said.

“The other 69-year-old man was also found to have been cut and stabbed at his face, neck, arms and chest. They were certified dead at 8.50pm.”

A 22cm-long pair of scissors and a 21cm-long fruit knife with blood stains were found near the two bodies.

The grandson, who was believed to have jumped from the 18th floor of Yuet Ping House in Long Ping Estate, a 10-minute walk from the village, was certified dead at 8.30pm.

He was found to have gone to the village flat alone after his grandfather and father returned home, then left after allegedly killing them.

Kwan said police would look into the causes of the case, including the different parties’ backgrounds and relationships, to see whether there had been conflicts or financial disputes among them.
