Speaking after the verdict, DCI Martin Holvey, senior investigating officer from the East Midlands Special Operations Unit, said: “This was an extremely well planned murder. Tsang is a cold, calculated man who has never owned up to his crime.

“He has left a young boy with no mother and a distraught family in China with no daughter. I am happy that justice has been completed for the family but also extremely sad for them. I hope todays verdict will help give some closure to the family in China who I will be speaking with over the phone tonight.”
