What is Hello Kitty murder case?
The '''Hello Kitty murder case''' was the murder of Fan Man-yee in [[Hong Kong]] in 1999. Man-yee lived in an [[orphanage]] until she was 15, when she was kicked out because no one wanted to take her. She became homeless and got addicted to drugs. Eventually, she became a street [[prostitute]] and when she turned 21, she joined a [[brothel]]. Fan married a fellow addict, who was also her client in 1996. She gave birth to a boy in 1998. Man-yee's husband was abusive, as claimed by their neighbors. == Background == A triad member named Chan Man-lok (34 years old) was a regular client of Fan Man-yee. In early 1999, Fan Man-yee stole about $4000 HK ($500) from Man-lok. When she got caught, she immediately returned the wallet.

They took her to an [[apartment]] in Tsim Sha Tsui (No. 31 Granville Road) and imprisoned her for a month until her death. She was [[Rape|raped]] and [[Torture|tortured]] and was [[Violence|beaten]] with household items and was also used as a [[punching bag]]. She was also kicked in the head (around 50 times). Her legs and feet were burned with [[wax]] and hot [[plastic]] which made her unable to walk. She was also forced to consume Ah Fong's [[feces]] and the men's [[urine]]. And, if she was refusing, she would be beaten more. She was forced to smile and say that she had enjoyed the abuse. Eventually, she died because of [[traumatic shock]] on 15th April 1999. Her body was dismembered and boiled, and her head was shoved into a [[Hello Kitty]] doll, providing a title for this case. Only her [[skull]], one [[tooth]] and few [[Organ system|internal organs]] remained. == Trial and convictions == Ah Fong told the police about this after she had been seeing the image of a young woman in her 20s haunting her, which she ass
