Doctor gets life term in Hong Kong over yoga ball killings
HONG KONG — An anesthesiologist convicted of killing his wife and daughter by placing a yoga ball that leaked carbon monoxide in their car has been sentenced to life in prison in Hong Kong.
Malaysian citizen Khaw Kim Sun, 53, had become estranged from his wife, Wong Siew Fing, 47, and their four children, although they continued to live together while he had an affair with a student.
A jury of five men and four women found him guilty at Hong Kong’s High Court after seven hours of deliberation Wednesday.
“It is shocking that a highly educated and successful man would conjure up such a calculated method to get rid of his wife,” judge Judianna Barnes Wai-ling was quoted in media as telling Khaw.
