3 new arrests linked with Tsim Sha Tsui bar murder

Three more individuals have been arrested on suspicion of murder and assisting offenders after authorities connected them with a murder that took place in a Tsim Sha Tsui bar last week.

At least 12 people linked with the case have been arrested so far.

The case revolves around a 32-year-old victim who was beaten by a group of customers at a bar on Cameron Road last Sunday.

He sustained serious head and chest injuries and was unconscious when he was sent to hospital, where he was subsequently confirmed dead.

The three men who were arrested over the past two days included a 40-year-old who was suspected of murder, while the two others, aged 36 and 52, were suspected of assisting offenders.

They are set to appear at the Kowloon City Magistrates' Courts on Monday.

Sources said the latest arrests included the mastermind behind the murder who is also a key Triad member in the Yau Tsim Mong District.
