FARMER STABBED IN FANLING "FREE-FOR-ALL”
ACCIDENTALLY BECOMING involved in a "free-for-all” in the Mui Yuen Teashop at Fanling on the evening of March 8 last, a farmer, Yeung Yuet, was fatally stabbed in the lung with a knife.
This morning at the Criminal Ses- sions, the alleged attacker, Wan Chung-ping, mafoo, was accused. of murder. His Counsel, Mr. Percy Chen, instructed by Mr. M. W. Lo, pleaded not guilty.
According to the Crown, represent- ed by Mr. G. P. Murphy, of the 20 odd people who were involved in the fight | only one saw accused strike the farm- er with the knife.
Dr. R. Alvares, Assistant Govern- ment Bacteriologist, to whom the knife was sent to be examined, said there were blood-stains on the blade, but the tests did not prove conclusively that the stains were of human blood. Under cross-examination, witness said it was definitely ascertained that the stains were blood-stains, but the test was negative as to whether stains were of human blood. He add- ed that it would require extreme heat to cause a negative result.
