A Hong Kong woman has been found dead with a neck wound in a public park, with police locating a knife and a cutter nearby.

The force received a report at around 5am on Wednesday from a passer-by, who saw a woman bleeding on the ground in Tin Shui Wai Park near Tin Shui Road.

The 53-year-old woman was certified dead at the scene after officers found a 10cm (3.9 inches) long wound on her neck. A knife and a cutter were found nearby.

Officers cordoned off the scene around a bench. The deceased was seen with her shirt covered in blood.

Police said further updates would be made public later.
