StandNews @StandNewsHK published a three-part report of an exclusive interview with mother of Poon Hiu-wing.
Poon was murdered by her boyfriend Chan Tong-kai in Taipei in Feb 2018. HK gov used Chan's case to support its proposal to amend the extradition bill, which ignited...
...the massive, often violent protests that started 15 months ago.
Will introduce the reports in this #thread:
Poon's mom urged Chan Tong-kai, who has been released from HK's jail for nearly 1 yr, to turn himself to Taiwan authorities as he promised

Chan has been out of public sight since 23 Oct, 2019 - the day he was released from jail and apologised to Poon's family under company by pro-Beijing reverend Peter Koon.
Here is what happened that day:
Poon's mother said she turned to DAB, the largest pro-Beijing political party in HK for help, because she took a friend's advice under fear and helplessness. She had no idea her daughter's case would trigger such a huge storm in HK and felt guilty for that.
Poon's mother said Poon was a sweet, filial daughter and a scholarship-winner with whom she would go shopping and movies like sisters. Poon's mother said she knew her daughter was being with Chan in 2017 and she did not like the relationship.

Poon's mother has been suffering depressing since Poon's tragic death came to light. She saw stray dogs and got badly bit by mosquitos when she offered sacrifices at the wild grass ground in Taipei where Chan dumped Poon's body...

...the horrible images and thoughts that Poon was alone being eaten on the wild grass ground have been haunting the mother. She dared not to see Poon's body before cremation. Her husband later told her their daughter had become bones with all organs dissolved to thick liquid.
