Double murder solved

– An anaesthetist gassed his wife and daughter to death using a yoga ball filled with carbon monoxide, a Hong Kong court has heard.

Prosecutors told the high court that Khaw Kim-sun, 53, left the ball in the boot of a car where the gas leaked out and killed them, according to court reports on Wednesday.

His wife and 16-year-old daughter were found on a roadside in a locked yellow Mini Cooper in 2015, in a case which initially baffled police. – AFP
