A 60-year-old British man (click here) who went missing for several weeks in late March, has been confirmed to have been killed in China, the Hong Kong police said in a statement after being notified by Chinese authorities.
Hilary St John Bower, who had worked as an English language instructor at the Polytechnic University in Hong Kong, had been dead for more than a week by the time he was reported missing on 30 March, according to a police statement.
“The victim was killed on the evening of March 22 in mainland China,” the Hong Kong police said, after receiving notice from their Chinese counterparts.

The police statement included no specifics, however, on how he was killed, a possible motive, or why it had taken so long to confirm Bower’s death.
Hong Kong media reported that Bower had a longtime girlfriend and a son in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, and had often travelled between the two places.
