    Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa has extended his deepest condolence to the families of two young girls found killed in Yuen Long.

     

    ��I am shocked and saddened to hear the deaths of two girls in Yuen Long. I condemn such brutal acts of violence and would like to extend my deepest condolence to the families of the victims.��

     

    He said he had full confidence in the Police in maintaining law and order.
