A young mother killed her abusive partner — but what police found inside her apartment days later shocked Hong Kong. This is the Tuen Mun Salt Murder.
In February 1999, 22-year-old Cheung Wai-man was found dead inside his apartment in Tuen Mun, his body hidden inside a metal trunk and buried under layers of salt. He had been missing for days, and the discovery raised immediate questions — not just about how he died, but about what happened after.
At the center of the case was his girlfriend, Yik Po-man. To outsiders, she appeared quiet and composed. But behind closed doors, she had endured years of physical abuse, control, and isolation.
What happened on the night of February 10 would change everything. What followed would make this case infamous. Decades later, it remains one of Hong Kong’s most disturbing examples of how abuse, fear, and desperation can collide with irreversible consequences.
What do you think — was this self-defense, or did it cross a line?
