The old Macau made a brief appearance recently when the dismembered body of a Hong Kong man missing for two months was found in a flat in the city.
Lai King-man, a 60-year-old Hong Kong man, was last seen in Macau on September 6.
Macau police said they suspected Lai had been murdered over a gambling loan. He was alleged to have been an active triad member in Hong Kong and had once worked as a police officer.
He was last seen gambling at an undisclosed casino. Witnesses told police they saw him meeting a group of men. Police believe he then went with them to a restaurant. Local media reports say the man may have owed loan sharks HKD5 million for several years.
Hong Kong police sources said Lai had previously been convicted of running one of the world’s biggest ever heroin smuggling operations in the mid 1980s.
