Abstract | According to the Lantau North Assistant District Commander for Crime, Liam Scally, Lantau is becoming a haven for murderers and kidnappers. With just one recorded murder in 1995, six bodies have been discovered upon October 1996. Scally says the New Territories used to be the place of choice for kidnappers to dump their victims' remains. But as development encroaches on Yuen Long, Fanling and other traditional hide-out grounds, criminals are on the lookout for less conspicuous places to pursue their activities. |
