Dr. C. Y. Mino, who is charged with the murder of his wife, Mrs. Wai Sheung Yi Miao, was smiling as he was brought
into the dock.
It was stated that although prisoner, on returning alone to the boarding-house where the honeymoon couple were staying, expressed anxiety at his wife's continued absence, when a Police Inspector arrived Dr. Mino had gone to bed.
Police officers also found a key to the case in which the victim-kept her jewellery, hidden in the prisoner's bag.
