Victim of #PoliceBrutality: Homeless Vietnamese Hangs Himself to Death in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong's Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre, an immate was, according to the Correctional Services Department, found dead “hanging himself with a pair of long pants”.
The deceased was called Le Van Muoi, a homeless Vietnamese who had been ferociously assaulted by 9 policemen in February this year in Tung Chau Street Park. The police also destroyed all his belongings.
Responding to media's inquiry, the Hong Kong Police Force admitted that the 9 police officers who were involved have not been prosecuted so far. They were suspended and further investigation was pending.
The Force refused to disclose whether the 9 officers are fully paid during the suspension period.
Concerning the said 9 police officers, the police force said they are awaiting legal advice from the Department of Justice.
Pro-democracy lawmaker and social workrr Shiu Ka-chun has previously requested for the footage of the surveillance cameras situated at Tung Chau Street on the day when Muoi was assaulted by 9 police officers. The Police Force, however, ordered the Leisure and Cultural Services Department not to release the footage, citing that “it is likely to undermine the investigation of the case and possible future trial proceedings.”

Pastor: homeless man had no suicidal tendency despite Police found his death “not suspicious”
A Vietnamese homeless man in Hong Kong, Le Van Muoi, reportedly “hanged himself to death on a pair of long pants” while detained at Siu Lam Psychiatric Center.
Pastor Timothy Lam Kwok-Cheung told reporter of Stand News that he was informed by Le's forensic officer that Ah Muoi was “strangled" with a pair of long pants, not “hanged”.
Lam quoted the forensic officer’s report, which stated that Ah Muoi has been detained in Lai Chi Kok detention center since September 28, 2020. He was transferred to Siu Lam Psychiatric Center on October 7 for behavioral issues. On October 8, Ah Muoi was found hanging on a pair of long pants. Despite medical treatment in Tuen Mun hospital, Ah Muoi passed away on October 9.
The Pastor also stressed that when questioned by the forensic officer, police on the scene said that the cause of Ah Muoi’s death is “not suspicious”. Lam said the police officer's written statement claimed that Ah Muoi had displayed self-destructive behavior at Siu Lam Psychiatric Center. Lam, who had been in contact with Ah Muoi for years, disagreed.
Lam said Ah Muoi had no suicidal tendency; whether he committed suicide by hanging himself remained inconclusive.
