Hong Kong (dpa) – A 15-year-old Hong Kong youth has been arrested

after allegedly stabbing his mother and sister to death Thursday.

had killed his 42-year-old mother and 12-year-old sister at their

flat in the city’s Tsuen Wan district.

necks and lower parts of their torsos. The teenager had a butcher’s
