Victim's Parents Call On Murder Suspect to Fulfill his Promise and Surrender to Taiwan Authorities
The murder suspect Chan Tong-gai who killed his pregnant girlfriend, Poon Hiu-wing, on their holiday in Taiwan in February 2018. Chan escaped the island and returned to Hong Kong, where he was arrested for four rounds of money-laundering offences. Since his discharge in October 2019, Chan sought protection from HK Police and resided in a safe house with his mother.
A year after Chan’s discharge from prison, Poon’s parents issued an open letter on September 23 through Stand News. They urged Chan to turn himself in to Taiwan authorities as he promised, stating that Taiwan has set up a “single special window” with Hong Kong from the outset to settle this matter. The parents called on Chan to stand trial in Taiwan and stop “chickening out”.
Reverend Canon Peter Koon Ho-ming, provincial secretary general of the Anglican church in Hong Kong, who has been assisting Chan since his discharge from prison refused to comment on the case, saying he is not Chan’s “spokesperson.”
Editor’s note:
Chan Tong-gai’s case is often cited by the media for ultimately sparking the year-long anti-ELAB movement. In February 2019, the city’s Chief Executive, Carrie Lam took Chan’s case as the rationale for a proposed amendment to the extradition ordinance to establish a mechanism for case-by-case transfers of fugitives, on the order of the Chief Executive, to any jurisdiction with which the city lacks a formal extradition treaty.

HK Security Chief blames Anti-ELAB movement for Keeping Suspected Murderer from Surrendering to Taiwan
Chan Tong-kai, suspected murderer of his pregnant girlfriend during their vacation trip in Taiwan, has still not turned himself in to Taiwan authorities as promised. While Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council asked HK government to first respond to their mutual legal assistance request before issue of an entry visa, the mother of the murder victim demanded the government to immediately hand over Chan's confession statement and other relevant evidence to Taiwan.
Secretary for Security John Li Ka-Chiu retorted on October 22, putting the blame on the anti-ELAB movement for stopping promulgation of the proposed fugitive law, and left the government with no legal basis to provide legal assistance as requested. Li said, “it’s the citizens’ choice. I can’t breach the law on this matter.”
Li also said that it is “utterly unreasonable and impractical” for Taiwan authorities to set legal assistance as a prerequisite for Chan's surrender.
In a response on the same evening, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council restated that the murder case involves the jurisdictions of both Hong Kong and Taiwan and the execution of public powers involved, and so both governments must first come to an agreement on the relevant issues before discussing how Chan would enter Taiwanese borders. The Shilin District Prosecutors Office also calls for the government of Hong Kong to respond practically to Taiwan's existing request for judicial assistance in order to carry out their investigations, and to quickly bring the suspect to trial, in order to ensure justice is achieved.
The Mainland Affairs Council also noted that the response by the Hong Kong government appealed to emotions rather than facts, and was illustrative of their passive and evasive attitude towards the case. The Council demanded the Hong Kong government to take responsibility and begin discussing with Taiwan for a solution to the case, so that justice can soon be rendered to the victim and their family.
