Chinese man extradited over murder charge

A 43-year-old Chinese man has been extradited from Hong Kong to face a murder charge.

Wong Sui Ching is due to appear at Belfast Magistrate’s Court tommorow charged with the murder of 29-year-old part-time waitress Ho Mi Ye.

She had been found strangled at her home in Isoline Street in east Belfast in June 1998.

A 39-year-old man had been acquitted of her murder seven years ago.

A police spokesman said the extradition was a result of a “high level of co-operation” between the PSNI, Hong Kong Police and the Department of Justice during the investigation and subsequent extradition.
