Mr. Ng, 22, died in a struggle with three armed robbers who intruded
into his home in Yuen Long on January 26, this year.
"Mr. Ng himself had been contributing $200 a month which was about
one-third of the family income.
"The award of $17,000 has been calculated as being a sun sufficient
to replace the contributions which Mr. Ng could have been expected to make to
the family had he lived; and in computing this figure the ages of his brothers
and sisters were taken into account as one must assume that in due course they
will earn and contribute to the family income, "Mr. Sneath said.
