Scientific Evidence
11
As the trial judge state's in his report, the only cogent evidence against Chan was that of Mr Edgley, the Chief Chemist at the Government laboratory. His evidence established that there had been contact between a sweater belonging to Chan-and clothing worn by the deceased on the day she died.
Defence
12
The defence was the alibi put forward in Chan's first statement to the Police. He maintained this throughout the Police enquiries, but did not give evidence at his trial.

Chan's mental state.
13
[
Chan was examined by two psychiatrists at the Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre before his trial. He was under observation from October 1972, following his arrest, to February 1973, when a report was made. Whilst under obser- vation, he showed no irrational behaviour or tendency towards sexual perversion. There was no sign of psychotic illness. The psychiatrists' conclusion was that Chan was not suffering from any psychotic disorder and that there was no tendency to sexual perversion.

Additional Factors
14
The Police found four pornographic magazines in Chan's home. Two of them were significant in that they contained photographs showing the body of a female treated in much the same way as the deceased's body. One of them showed a knife suspended near the throat of a female. The article connected with these photographs dealt with catching, tying up and raping a virgin. The magazines were not admitted in evidence at Chan's trial.
