Senior forensic doctor Guo Jiaqi appeared in court to reveal the results of the autopsy and the location of the severed organs. It was confirmed that Cai Tianfeng was hit on the head at least 7 times with hard objects such as a ball hammer before his death. The right skull was punctured and the cheek bones were broken at several places. The cause of death was said to be head injury. In addition, the forensic doctor confirmed that the human head was cooked in the large soup pot, and there were sharp wounds on the lower limbs in the refrigerator and no signs of bleeding, indicating that they were cut with sharp instruments after death.
Ming Pao reported that the defendants in this case, Kuang Kongji, Kuang Qiu and Kuang Kongzhisan, were accused of murdering Cai Tianfeng on February 21, 2023, and preventing the legal burial of the body from February 21 to 23. Forensic doctor Guo Jiaqi testified that three days after the incident, police entered the Lung Mei Estate unit in Tai Po and seized two soup pots. Inside the large pot, they found a cooked human head and nine ribs broken by sharp tools.
After examination, there were a total of 7 wounds on Cai Tianfeng’s head, including a 15 cm long wound on the right side of the head, a 1.5 cm long wound on the right cheek, an “L” shaped wound on the right side of the face, a wound on the lower part of the right ear, a wound on the right jaw, and a wound on the back of the left ear and the back of the brain. Guo reported that each wound was caused by an attack and was a premortem injury, meaning that Cai Tianfeng was hit on the head seven times before his death.

Guo examined the internal injuries on Kai’s head and found that his brain was shrunken, soft, and brittle, which may have been caused by someone cooking him after death. A total of 9 pieces of ribs were found in the big vessel. It can be judged from the cutting marks that these were caused by sharp tools. However, it was impossible to identify whether the pieces were cut or sawn, whether they were front ribs or back ribs.
Regarding the division of body parts, Guo Jiaqi observed a pair of female lower limbs on the bottom of the refrigerator. The right leg retained most of its soft tissues and was found to contain cesarean section scars, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, consistent with characteristics from previous childbirth. The muscles of both legs remained fresh, the incision was sharp, and there was no reaction of bleeding throughout life, so it was confirmed that the incision was postmortem.
According to Hong Kong 01 report, police also found human tissue on saws in the unit’s toilet, and confiscated items such as banknotes, cloth paper and tin cans with “Mingtong Bank” printed on them. The police chief testified that they were used to “worship the dead” and were used by the dead in hell. Currently, all three defendants have been charged with one count of murder and one count of preventing the lawful burial of a body. The matter is going on in the High Court.
