A 61-year-old man fell to his death from the balcony of his public housing flat in Sha Tin on Wednesday night after a dispute with his wife and son over education expenses, police said.
Police received a report from the man's son at 9.42pm on Wednesday. The caller said his father had lost his balance and fallen from their flat at Ming Yiu House in Jat Min Chuen, a public housing estate in Sha Tin.
According to a source, the 61-year-old man, surnamed Law, argued with his son in the kitchen over financial issues. His wife intervened during the scuffle, and Law fell from the balcony in the cramped space.
The wife, aged 52, and their 21-year-old son were arrested. Preliminary investigations suggest the death was accidental, and no suicide note was found at the scene.
