Two Charged In Connection With Tang Murder
Two women have been charged in connection with the murder of Chinese business man Simon Tang.
The pair, aged 33 and 34, have been charged with perverting the course of justice. They are due in court next month.
The victim, 28-year-old Mr Tang, was beaten and robbed as he left his takeaway business on 24 June 1996. He was taken to hospital but died the following day, leaving a wife and two sons.
It is believed the attack was carried out by two youths who stole the night's takings of around £400 and Mr Tang's watch.
The killing recently featured on the BBC's Crimewatch programme in a bid to generate fresh leads and refresh people's memories.
Police would still like to speak to two men who were seen walking up Ellis Street towards the Good Future takeaway restaurant at about midnight on 24 June. They are also keen to speak to a woman who contacted the Mater hospital on the night of the murder asking about the condition of the "Chinese man" assaulted.
