A butcher died on Friday after he injured himself with a meat cleaver while trying to slaughter a pig.
Police say the incident happened at the Sheung Shui Slaughterhouse at around 1pm, when the 61-year-old butcher was about to kill a pig he had already knocked out with an electric stun gun.
But the pig regained consciousness and put up a struggle, during which the man fell to the ground.

The force said the cause of death has yet to be ascertained, while the Labour Department said it was investigating the accident.
