Injured dancer Mo Li Kai-yin, 30, was left paralysed from the neck down in the accident at the Hong Kong Coliseum, operated by the department, and is currently receiving treatment overseas.

Hong Kong family in suspected murder-suicide case ‘were about to emigrate to UK'
A young Hong Kong family of four found dead in a suspected hotel murder-suicide case at the weekend had planned to fly to Britain on Monday to emigrate, with the lease on their suite ending next month, the Post has learned. The father, a former customs inspector, was found dead on Sunday after jumping out of a window at the Panda Hotel in Tsuen Wan. Officers discovered his wife and two sons, aged six and three, dead inside the hotel suite. A source said on Monday that the family's visa applications had already been approved but their plans to move to Britain were delayed because the three-year-old boy had a foot condition. 'He had undergone two operations, but the results were unsatisfactory, so they could only delay the emigration plan,' the source said. The hotel case has been classified as a murder-suicide, with the cause of the killings still under investigation. The tragedy at the hotel came to light after the father jumped to his death. Photo: May Tse A preliminary forensic examination found the man's wife had cut wounds on her back and neck. The six-year-old boy was found in one bedroom with cut wounds on his forearms and palms. The three-year-old was located in the other bedroom and had cut wounds on his chest and neck.
