A haunted flat in Tsuen Wan in which six people were poisoned and gassed to death in 1996 has finally found a buyer, who paid half the market price for the unit no one would touch.
Veteran haunted-home investor Chan Ying-kai, who owned the apartment, confirmed the sale, saying the deal was concluded on New Year’s Eve.
