Chan Tong-kai, who allegedly killed his girlfriend Amber Poon Hiu-wing in Taiwan, triggering the anti-fugitive protests in 2019, has been blacklisted by airlines and is unable to fly across the strait to surrender himself, Peter Koon Ho-ming said. Koon, who has been relaying messages for 23-year-old Chan, said in a televised interview on Sunday that while Chan's intention to surrender has never changed, both Chan and himself were rejected by airlines and unable to board planes destined to Taiwan. This means that courts in Hong Kong will be authorized to hear the murder case that happened in Taiwan. Although Chan promised to give himself up to Taiwanese authorities, he was never sent to Taiwan to face the murder charge.
