Other remains were found in a rubbish bin and packed into lunchboxes with rice.
According to reports, a jury at the city’s high court found Chau guilty on both counts of murder by a majority of 8-to-1.
Chau and his friend Tse Chun-kei were brought before the court, although Kei was found innocent of the two counts of murder.
