Two suspects in connection with Kevin Lau case returned to Hong Kong
***********************************************************

     Two suspects in connection with Kevin Lau case arrested in the Mainland earlier were returned by the Guangdong Public Security Department to the Hong Kong Police through Huanggang Boundary Control Point today (March 17).

     Two suspects both aged 37 are Hong Kong residents. Extensive investigations by the Regional Crime Unit of Hong Kong Island led to the identification of the two suspects.??As they were believed to have absconded to the Mainland, Hong Kong Police sought the assistance of the Ministry of Public Security and Guangdong Public Security Department. The duo were then arrested in Guangdong.
     
     Hong Kong Police were grateful for the invaluable assistance rendered by the Ministry of Public Security and Guangdong Public Security Department which resulted in the quick arrest of the suspects and the prompt return of them to Hong Kong Police for further investigations though there is no formal rendition agreement between the two places.

     Regarding press enquiries on whether the motive is related to journalist work, Police reiterate that we will not rule out any possibilities. However, according to the information we have in hand at this stage, there is no direct evidence to indicate that this is related to journalistic work. We will continue our thorough and in-depth investigation and will not give up any clues and rule out any possibilities.
