Hong Kong police have launched a murder investigation and arrested two men after a man died following a dispute in a Mong Kok flat where drugs were also found.
A police spokesman said on Wednesday that officers received a call at about 2.50pm on Wednesday from a man who reported that his friend, 45, was attacking another acquaintance, 58, with scissors inside a flat at 22 Tong Mi Road.
Officers arrived to find the 45-year-old unconscious. He was taken to Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, where he was later pronounced dead.
Initial examinations showed the man had no wounds consistent with scissors or significant bleeding but had minor injuries to his head, arms and legs.

The case was initially classified as “assault occasioning actual bodily harm” before being upgraded to “murder”. The two other men were arrested.
