A Hong Kong customs officer suspected of raping a Swedish tourist in a hotel has been remanded in custody.
Li Kin-on, 28, was not required to enter a plea on a charge of rape during his first appearance at Eastern Court on Monday, as prosecutors asked for an eight-week period for further investigation.
A charge sheet submitted to the court said the defendant, who lived in a public housing estate in Chai Wan, attacked the woman at Ming Court Hotel in Wan Chai on Friday.

Investigators requested more time to gather evidence by collecting relevant CCTV footage, contacting potential witnesses, conducting a forensic examination and inspecting the defendant’s mobile devices, the court heard.
