Lifetime prison sentence for yoga

hong kong - A Malaysian man was sentenced by a judge in Hong Kong to a life sentence for the murder in 2015 of his 47-year-old wife and 16-year-old daughter. The murder weapon was remarkable: a yoga ball filled with carbon monoxide.

The man had put the ball- say a skippy ball without handle- into the trunk of his wife's car. He had ensured that the carbon monoxide could slowly escape, causing his wife and child to suffocate. They were found unconscious, but medical assistance was no longer useful.

The Malaysian had a relationship and wanted to divorce, but his wife did not want to cooperate. That is why the man decided to murder his wife, so that he immediately inherited the property that was in her name.

The man also denied that he was involved in the death of his wife and daughter. He confessed that he had arranged the yoga ball filled with carbon monoxide, but claimed that he wanted to kill pests.
