Prisoner admitted to and was suspected of having joined a Triad Society for one and a half years. It was also suspected that he maintained regular contact with triad members for many years. It was very likely that he did often go along with them for pleasure-seeking pursuits, and spent his time in various apartments and that he chiefly depended on them for a living between the time of his offence for which he was charged and his subsequent arrest.
G. THE DECEASED
1. Mr. NG Kai-biu, aged 26 (employee of the Sang Cheong Salt Shop at 265 Yu Chau Street, G/F)
Mr. LAM Wah-yiu, as given by Police, was a former worker at the above-named shop but had left for over a year. Mr. NG informed that the deceased was also a delivery worker at the above-named shop over three years ago. The deceased was described as a rather accostable and friendly person. After he had left his job, he did sometimes return to the salt shop to chat with his former colleagues. It was known that he had got a driving licence and got a better-off job. Mr. NG expressed ignorance about his other associates and activities.
2. Mr. TSOI Tung, aged 26 (sworn brother of the deceased,
living at 122, Section 5, Sam Ka Village, Lyemun, Kowloon)
Mr. TSOI had known the deceased since childhood as they lived in the same area in Shan Mei, their native place. They became sworn brothers about ten years ago. Mr. TSOI informed that the deceased came to Hong Kong through illicit means of entry in 1967. He had no other close relatives in Hong Kong. He was the eldest child in family, while his parents, a paternal grandmother and four younger siblings were said to be still in Shan Mei, China. The deceased chiefly took up iron work after his arrival in Hong Kong, and occasionally remitted some money to his family in China. He had no fixed abode, but sometimes he would stay in Mr. TSOI's former residence in the Lam Tin Estate.
