Sub-Inspector Shave Gives Testimony In His Own Defence
Evidence that he had no intention of firing at the deceased, or had any intention of harming or intimid iting him in any way was given by Sub-Inspector Albert Edward Shave, 23, charged with the manslaughter of a 20-year-old employee of a construction company, when he testified on his own behalf before the Senior Puisne Judge, Mr Justice Gould, in the Criminal Sessions this morning.
Shave is charged with the unlawful killing of Wong Keng-sun at the Yat Ming Lau Teahouse on Prince Edward Road during a Police raid on the premises on the night of August 22 last, when Wong was killed as a result of a gun going off. The Pros zeution alleges that a revolver held by Shave went off at the time.
