What is documented
In March 1999, 23-year-old Fan Man-yee was abducted and held in an apartment on Granville Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. She was repeatedly assaulted during weeks of confinement and died while being held there. [1]
A teenage witness later contacted police. Three men were tried for murder but convicted of manslaughter because the available evidence could not establish the precise cause of Fan’s death. The resulting convictions and sentences were upheld through the appeal process. [2]
