  • The inquest into the death of Chow Tsz-lok has been shown more footage of a car park in Tseung Kwan O where he was found injured.

    The inquest into the death of Chow Tsz-lok has been shown more footage of a car park in Tseung Kwan O where he was found injured.

More CCTV footage that purportedly captured a university student's fall in a Tseung Kwan O car park during a protest last year has been played at an inquest into his death.

The video, thought to be of Chow Tsz-lok falling, emerged earlier this month, after the coroner himself discovered footage that had apparently been missed by the police.

In it, a small black shadow can be seen falling from height.

Part of the footage had already been shown earlier in court, but the video was played again on Monday, showing more of the aftermath when people rushed to the scene to help the stricken 22-year-old.

The video also had a time-stamp that showed that the time of the apparent fall was at 12:51am on November 4, 2019.

But this contradicted other testimony and a police detective told the court that the correct time should have been around 10 minutes later – 1.01am

The Coroner's Officer in charge of the inquest agreed with the detective's assessment, citing an expert as saying that the time was exactly ten minutes and 11 seconds slow.

Meantime, the detective also told the court that he had accessed Chow's iPad after the incident.

He found that the student had sent a photo taken from the second floor of the Sheung Tak car park of an intersection outside, to a Telegram group at 12:46am. Another message to another group was posted three minutes later. The inquest is continuing.
