In a dramatic turn of events, a British businessman, Jamie Tzewee Chapman, is under custody following his charge for the alleged murder of an Indonesian woman in Hong Kong.

Chapman, 34, appeared in court without entering a plea, and a judge adjourned the case for further investigation until January. His lawyer has not sought bail.

Chapman was arrested alongside his wife upon their return from mainland China, though she has since been released on bail. The deceased, Mevi Novitasari, was discovered at a park waterfall, leading to Chapman's arrest.
