A 39-year-old man appeared before a magistrate in Kwun Tong on Monday charged with the murders of two women who were stabbed at a mall in Diamond Hill last week.

At the prosecution's request, the case was adjourned until June 19 pending psychiatric reports to determine whether the defendant, Szeto Sing-kwong, is fit to enter a plea.

The defence did not apply for bail and Szeto was remanded to Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre.

Two women, aged 22 and 26, were attacked at around 5pm on Friday on the third floor of the Plaza Hollywood mall.
