      context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Poon_Hiu-wing

      graphic description of violence

      Around 2 am, the two got into another argument, during which Poon revealed the baby she was carrying in her womb was conceived with a former boyfriend, and showed Chan a video of her having sex with another man. Chan reacted with rage and smashed her head against the wall of the hotel room and started strangling her from behind with his hands. They struggled on the floor for around 10 minutes until Poon was dead. Chan then folded her body into the suitcase, packed her belongings, and went to bed.[3][6]

      So a guy took his girlfriend to Taiwan, murdered her there, then returned to Hong Kong.

      He couldn’t be extradited because Hong Kong has no extradition treaty with Taiwan, and Hong Kong does not recognize Taiwan as a separate political entity from mainland China. The 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests were the result of the proposal of an extradition treaty, which would’ve allowed Hong Kong to extradite people to mainland China as well as Taiwan.

      The guy still hasn’t been brought to justice for the crime of murder.
