A bright yellow Mini Cooper sat parked near a bus stop in Ma On Shan, a town in Hong Kong.It was not raining that day in 2015, but the windshield wipers were scraping against the glass; a passerby later said it appeared that Wong Siew-fung and her 16-year-old daughter had fallen asleep inside the car.

Autopsies later revealed that the two died of carbon monoxide poisoning, though the gas did not appear to be leaking from the vehicle. It apparently came from a yoga ball in the trunk - which, prosecutors said, had been filled with the gas and placed there by Wong's husband, according to the newspaper.
尸检后来透露，两人死于一氧化碳中毒，但气体似乎不是从车辆中泄漏。据报纸报道，这显然是来自行李箱内的一个瑜伽球 - 检察官说，这些瑜伽球充满了气体并由Wong Siew-fung的丈夫放在那里。

According to the South China Morning Post, prosecutor Andrew Bruce told the court that Khaw Kim-sun, a 53-year-old anesthesiologist, pumped carbon monoxide into the ball and put it into the vehicle in May 2015 as part of a plan to kill his wife。

Khaw, who is charged with two counts of murder, pleaded not guilty, according to BBC News.

Bruce told the court that Khaw ordered tens of thousands of dollars' worth of carbon monoxide, claiming that he planned to use it in a science experiment. The South China Morning Post reported that when his colleagues saw him pumping the toxic gas into a couple of yoga balls, he apparently told them that he was going to test it on rabbits.
Bruce告诉法庭，Khaw订购了价值数千美元的一氧化碳，声称他计划在科学实验中使用它。据“南方晨报”报道，当他的同事看到他将有毒气体泵入几个瑜伽球时，Khaw告诉他们他将要用兔子测试它。
