Scissor Blades

The opinion that the two blades 'which the" Police Surgeon handed him, for examination could form one pair of scissors was expressed by Mr F. A. Ewins, Police Ballistics Officer when he testified in the Lai- chikok Murder Trial before Mr Justice Gould in the Criminal Sessions this morning.

On trial is Mak Chan-yuen, 27, farmer, and he is alleged to have murdered Ng Lin, alías Ng Mei-fan, 20, stated to be his sweetheart, on the hillside at Laichikok on October 6 last year. Her body was found in a de- composed state three days later, and a post-mortem examination revealed a number of stab wounds on the head and body. The Prosecution alleges that the stab wounds were inflicted with a scissors blade.

It has been suggested that Just Friday's "Comment of the Day" dealing with the new Tenants (Prolonged Duration) Ordin- ance, could give the impression that a request for key money or construction money for a new building is an offence. The de- mand for premia for tenancy of new buildings is not illegal. The provisions of the Landlord, and Tenancy Ordinance, which pro- hibit key money, do not apply to new buildings,
