Not Mentally Ill, Says Doctor

Dr P. M. Yop, Government psychiatric specialist, sold at the Criminal Sossions this morning that as a re- sult of observations and tests made of a person charged with murdar, he believed the man was not montally ill.

Dr Yap also said that there was no evidence that the 30- cused had been mentally ili at the time of the alleged murder in November last year.

The accused, Lam Kwong- chol, 48, is alleged to have killed his foster father, Lam San-fat, in Hung Hu Po Village, Talpo, on November 15 last.

Dr Yap, who was called by the Defence to give evidence, said he exemined the accused from March 24 to March 31.

HOW?

Mr Terence Shurlock, De- fence Counsel, asked how he was able on March 31 to give an opinion regarding a person's mental state previously.

Dr. Yap replied that certain mental illnesses might be ex- pected to drag on for months and if one could not find any evidence of illness four months afterwards, one could conclude that as far as this line of in-

quiry was concerned there was no illness four monthe viously.
