According to this uncle, the Prisoner's previous conduct was not at all known to him, as they did not live together and he had very little opportunity of seeing the Prisoner except on a few occasions at family parties.
4. Mr. TSE Wai-chiu, 33, maternal grand-uncle of the Prisoner,
an electronics factory contractor residing at No. 55, Fung Wong New Village, 2/F.
There was no useful information to give as the grand- uncle had only seen the Prisoner only once after his arrival in Hong Kong, on the request of the Prisoner's mother who had written from the Mainland China to complain about the Prisoner for not sending any word or money home for several months.
B. Friends
Most of the Prisoner's friends had moved away from their reported address since the Prisoner was arrested. As a result, they could not be contacted. Among these were Mr. Wong Pan-yuk of 2 Sim Luen Street, 7/F., Mr. Li Ting Lam of 86 Wing Kwong Street, 6/F., Mr. Wong Ping @ Mr. Fong Yat-wah of Block C, Shung Kim Building, 11/F, Bailey Street, Hung Hom and Mr. Leung Ming-kam of 10 Bailey Street, 4/F, Hung Hom. These people represented a group of highly mobile young persons in the community, and like the Prisoner, they were fairly recent migrants to the Colony. Others who could be contacted were :
1. Mr. CHAN Charm-fan, 44, a clerk assistant and messenger at
the Kowloon Women's Welfare Club at 42 Shing Tak Street, residing at the same address
According to him, Mr. Chan said he met the Prisoner while they were going to the same movie show. He thought the Prisoner as friendly and arranged lodging for him at a Women's Welfare Club for stay. The Prisoner left after about two months' stay when he claimed that he had found another job. Since then, they had seldom seen each other.
The Prisoner had not stolen or disturbed anything in the Club while he stayed there. But he had frequently borrowed petty sums of cash from him amounting to about $60 or '$70 a month, which he had not returned. He heard that the Prisoner had used all of his wages on gambling. Other than this, Mr. Chan heard nothing about his vices. But Mr. Chan felt that the Prisoner was immature, fond of ventures and not serious about life.
2. Mf. CHAN Chun-wah, 23, a watchman at the Hong Kong Security
Ltd., residing at 462, Lockhart Road, 14/F, Hong Kong
He and the Prisoner had been friends since they were neighbour in Canton. The Prisoner was then found liking football and chess like normal people. The Prisoner had not changed much after his arrival in Hong Kong. He was still an active young man casual about life.
