Breaking: Hong Kong police confirm the Wang Fuk Court inferno that killed 83 was deliberate arson. One man started it all with a single act.
He Confessed
Suspect, 42-year-old unemployed resident of the same building, walked into police station and admitted: 'I lit the fire on floor 15.' Officers stunned.
The Spark
He used a cigarette lighter on flammable renovation materials. Knew the cheap cladding would explode. Fire raced up 23 floors in under 9 minutes.
His Twisted Reason
Revenge. He was furious at noisy renovation workers and believed management ignored his complaints for months. 'I wanted to teach them a lesson.'
He Watched It Burn
Stood on the street filming the screaming residents from windows. Laughed as the tower turned into a torch. Saved the video on his phone.
83 Innocent Lives
Families, elderly, children – entire households wiped out. Survivors say they heard him shouting 'Now you’ll be quiet!' as flames roared.
Police Found Evidence
CCTV caught him buying accelerants days earlier. Search of his flat revealed diary: 'Tonight they all pay.' Chilling 50-page manifesto.
Death Penalty Demanded
Hong Kong public erupts in rage. #HangTheArsonist trends worldwide. Lawmakers fast-track return of capital punishment debate.
He Smiles in Court
First hearing: Shows zero remorse, smirks at victims’ families. Judge orders psychiatric evaluation – but city wants blood.
