2nd of June, 2023. apparently, the couple, Fang Xiaotong and Liu Jixi 22 and 26, got murdered by a 39-year-old man in plaza hollywood in Hong Kong.
Police senior superintendent said the man bought the knife he used for the murder in the same mall, and he wandered around for a few moments before setting his eyes on the couple.
He first rushed and killed fang Xiaotong, with a twelve-inch Yusheng knife, pining her on the floor and stabbing her over 25 times. the other woman was trying to shoo the attacker away, but she did not succeed and then he went to kill her as well, who died even if it's not shown in the video.
Both victims showed injuries and stab wounds on the chest and neck.
After the murder, the assassin did not run away - he just stayed there on the spot while he looked at all the people rushing to help the two victims - that were taken to a hospital for urgent care but pronounced dead some minutes later. the police easily caught him and arrested him on the spot.
Besides Jixi, only another person, a chef, the news rename brother Fai, helped by calling the police to come immediately and arrest the man. but while many people call him a hero for standing up and calling for help, in an interview he says he's just a fool because he did not help the victims directly and therefore he feels bad.
Xiaotong worked in a restaurant and Jixi was a hairdresser. jJxi met Xiaotong at a bar.
The man, surnamed Situ, was bald and he was unemployed for a long time. he lived with his family. he did not know the two victims. he had a long story of mental illness, and he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
The homicide was totally random as he just bought a knife, wandered around, picked a casual target, and went for the kill.
