With tears streaming down his cheeks and in a voice scarcely audible because of his sobs, 67- year-old Lu Sing-kiu told how his daughter-in-law had allegedly attacked him, causing him such ex- cruciating pain that he slashed at her with a chopper in order to force her to release her hold. Lu told the story when he gave evidence in his own defence at the resumed hearing of his trial, before Mr Justice CW. Reece, Puisne Judge, and a Jury of seven men, for the murder of Tang Suet-ching, alias Tang Ha- ching, 27, at No. 121 Lockhart Road, first floor, on July 19 last.
Lu said that when his daughter-in-law (the de ceased) grabbed hold of him in a vital part of the body, she cried out "Either one of us must die: I am going to grab you to death."
