Police Insp Declares Accused Man
Tsui Dick, alias Taui Tsang-yui, alias Robert Tsui, 28, unemployed, on trial for robbery with aggravation, maintained during his cross- examination this morning that he signed a statement amounting to a con- fession because he was afraid he would be again assaulted by the Police. Taui further insisted that his allegations of assault by Police officers were
true.
He is on trial before Mr Justice J. R. Gregg in the Criminal Sessions and a Jury of six men and a woman. He is alleged to have, together with two other persons, robbed Tsui Sau-ngor, a housewife, at her residence at Lan Fong Road, of money and jewellery to a total value of over $28,000.
