Bath time turns deadly for hapless couple

A clerical worker was killed yesterday trying to help his girlfriend, who had fallen unconscious after an electric shock while taking a bath. Wong Wing-tung, 22, was in the living room of the flat in Cheung Sha Wan when his girlfriend screamed. She later regained consciousness and called emergency services. Wong was taken to Caritas Medical Centre and declared dead at 2.23am. The Mechanical Services Department said there were problems with the electrical installations in the flat. Clifford Lo
