PERSONS CONTACTED (relevant to the Prisoner's conduct and work)

1.

CHAO Cheng-han, aged 23 (wife of the Prisoner)

She protectively said that she did not find the Prisoner have any special bad hobbies. The Prisoner did gamble sometimes but he was not indulged in it, and at least he was a responsible husband and father in the sense of financial support. She said that she could not see why the Prisoner would have committed such an offence.
