A Malaysian professor serving a life sentence in Hong Kong for murdering his wife and daughter with a gas-filled yoga ball in 2015 has maintained on appeal that the deaths were “an unfortunate accident”.
Khaw Kim Sun, 55, was jailed in 2018 after a High Court jury of five men and four women unanimously found him guilty of murdering his wife, Wong Siew Fing, 47, and their second child, Lily Khaw Li Ling, 16.
Prosecutors had accused the anaesthesiologist, who pleaded not guilty to murder, of putting a leaking inflatable ball containing carbon monoxide in the boot of a yellow Mini Cooper driven by his wife on May 22, 2015.
