Murder in the desert: 'He was just bones and nothing else'CHRIS MCKEEN/STUFF William Luo holds a portrait of his father Hong Xi Luo, who was murdered last year in Dubai. Hong Xi's skeleton was found buried in the Arabian Desert in September; Luo, 29, had the bones cremated, then travelled to China with the ashes for his father's funeral. CHRIS MCKEEN/STUFF William Luo and his mother Yang Cao, in Luo's Auckland home, are still reeling after the brutal murder of Hong Xi. The Dubai police took a sample of Luo's blood; it matched DNA from the buried body's bones, confirming Hong Xi's identity. Hong Xi's bones were all that was left after his body spent more than a month buried.
