Father-In-Law Charged With Murder

FAMILY SQUABBLES OVER MONEY ARE

REVEALED

WHAT Counsel for the prosecution described as a sordid story of family squabbles over money was told at the Criminal Sessions this morning, when Ip Kiu, 45, was charged with the murder of his daughter-in-law, Law Chuen-lan, 26, on October 20.

. During the proceedings, the son gave evidence and admitted having pinned his father to the bed and striking him over ten blows with his fiat, although he knew that according to Chinese thinking it was an unpardonable sin for a son to hit his father.

The case is being tried by the Chief with the intestines protruding. An Justlee, Sir Atholl MacGregor, and operation was immediately perform the following Jury: Messrs.

Mr. M. J. Abbott, Assistant Crown Solleitor, is for the prosecution, and Ip is defended by Mr. T. F. Lo, instructed by Mr F. E. Nash,

Remarking that the details disclosed a sordid story of family squabbles over money, Mr. Abbott said Law was the daughter-in-law of Ip, and had been living together with the woman's husband and her mother at 70 First Street, 1st floor. They moved to the premises three years ago and lived there until September 28 last year, when Law, her husband and mother moved to 4 Graham Street.

After several long days of anxiety, wherein at times hopes were held for his recovery, Car-1 flos Nolasco da Silva, twenty-two year-old member of one of longkong most prominent Por tuguese familien, died at 8.45 this morning in Hospital.
