Case[]

On December 23, 2004, an employee of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department of Hong Kong was driving a motorcycle on patrol near a hillside in Ting Kau, Hong Kong. They noticed the smell of decay and saw a body lying on a hillside, and called the police believing that the decedent may still have been alive and severely injured.

The police and paramedics arrived at the scene and, due to how steep the hill was, they had to contact the fire department to recover the body. Once the firefighters brought the body up the hill, the police and forensic personnel began an investigation. The decomposed body belonged to a woman. Her face was swollen and unrecognizable, and the top of her pink brassiere jacket and shirt was completely unbuttoned, exposing a red bra she was wearing underneath. Her jeans and underwear were pulled down to her ankles. Based on the state of decomposition, the police believed that the decedent had been dead for 2-5 days.

The coroner took away the decedent's body and began an autopsy. Strangulation marks were found on the woman's neck, causing the police and medical examiner to label her death a homicide. Based on these facts, the police, with the use of sniffer dogs, conducted a thorough search of the hillside in an attempt to find the murder weapon and her belongings, such as identification but to no avail. A search of missing person reports also brought up no results. Although never confirmed, police also believe the decedent had been raped before her death.

The police's last lead came from the decedent's clothing. Her pink jacket had the words "Chen Xu" written on them, a clothing brand from The People's Republic of China. Her jeans, underwear, shirt, bra and shoes were also from brands based out of Mainland China, leading police to conclude the decedent was Chinese.
