On 17 February last year, a young Hong Kong couple's holiday in Taiwan went terribly wrong.
The night before they were due to leave, the couple bought a large pink suitcase at one of Taipei's popular night markets.
Their hotel's CCTV footage showed the couple returning to their room with the suitcase. That was the last time the 20-year-old woman, Poon Hiu-wing, was seen alive.
The next morning, the footage showed her boyfriend Chan Tong-kai, who was 19 at the time, taking the suitcase, along with other luggage, out of the room to check out.
There was no sign of Ms Poon.
Chan was later seen pushing the suitcase through Taipei's busy subway stations. He took a flight back to Hong Kong that evening, alone.
Hong Kong does not have an extradition treaty with Taiwan. It was this murder that made China call for an extradition law for Hong Kong that triggered the ongoing deadly protests.
