Two men connected to an assault in a Yau Ma Tei fruit market have been charged with murder.

The men, aged 40 and 48, were arrested after a 39-year-old man, found injured at the market on Waterloo Road on July 22, died.

A post-mortem examination showed he died of a chop wound to the chest.

The suspects will appear in Kowloon City Magistracy July 27.
