Police constable Chu Chun-kwok, who died earlier this month after he was paralyzed in a stabbing while on duty in 2005, will be laid to rest next month with the highest of police honors, according to sources.
The funeral will be held on October 22 at the Universal Funeral Parlour in Hung Hom. Chu will be buried the following day at Gallant Garden, with ceremonies including a Taoist rite and Chinese-style marching drills.
Chu was left in a vegetative state after suffering severe blood loss when he was stabbed in Cheung Sha Wan in July 2005 during a foot patrol.
He received the Medal for Bravery (Gold) in 2006 in recognition of his courage and dedication to duty.
