Following their court appearance on Saturday (July 6), two women who are suspected of kidnapping a three-year-old boy in Tseung Kwan O were placed under arrest.
The pair, Xue Shanshan and Leung Lai-wa, both unemployed, faced a charge of kidnapping for allegedly forcibly taking the boy against his will from a mall on Wednesday with the intent of obtaining ransom in exchange for the child's release.
The boy, allegedly taken for a ransom in cryptocurrency, was rescued by officers in the flat in Tseung Kwan O on Thursday morning.
Eastern Court Magistrate Don So rejected a bail application from one of the women, and the other did not apply for bail.
The case has been adjourned until September 23.
