Police in Macau are investigating what is being suspected as the murder of a 41-year-old man at one of the most prestigious casinos in Southeast Asia. The Sands Casino, a five-star casino resort located in Macau, notified police on Tuesday that a man had been found stabbed to death in his bed at the resort.

In November 2018, Wong Sio Chak, the Security for Security in the region, released a statement that showed that for the previous nine months that crime had dropped significantly. The report showed that a 1.8% drop in reported cases had occurred within the first nine months of 2018, with only a small number of serious crimes being reported.

The report also found that the number of serious crimes were either nonexistent or had reached levels that were negligible. This included such crimes as kidnapping, murder, and assault.

Macau became an autonomous region of China nearly 20 years ago when Portugal ceded its control over the region to the Chinese government. Since then, it has become a hotbed for Chinese tourists, rivaling Hong Kong.
