A 67-year-old man and his 65-year-old girlfriend have been arrested for allegedly leaving an illegal worker on the side of a road, who was later confirmed dead in hospital.
The worker was found on the ground on Cheung Sha Wan Road near Nam Cheong Street in Sham Shui Po at 1.25pm on Tuesday.
He was taken to Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, where he was confirmed dead at 2.10pm.
Police later found a light goods van on nearby Yu Chau Street, which the worker was believed to have been in earlier.
The man and woman, who were found with the van, were arrested for illegal removal of a dead body.
According to a police source, the deceased man in his forties was an illegal renovation labourer who had worked for the couple in the New Territories. He appeared to be sick during work earlier in the day.
