A 56‑year‑old man is on trial at the High Court in Hong Kong after his 38‑year‑old partner died following a violent confrontation at their home in Mui Tsz Lam village, Ma On Shan.
Prosecutors say the argument between the couple intensified late on April 13 and turned physical in the early hours of April 14 at their single‑storey house. Court documents include emergency‑call logs showing the defendant rang for help three times between 6:13am and 6:30am; in those calls he allegedly told operators he had killed his partner. Witness statements and forensic reports, according to the Crown, corroborate the timeline and point to the severity of the injuries.
The prosecution’s case hangs on three strands: eyewitness testimony, forensic analysis of the wounds, and the defendant’s own recorded remarks. Taken together, they argue, these elements point away from an accidental scuffle and toward criminal culpability.
The defence accepts that the defendant caused the injuries but rejects the suggestion that he acted with criminal intent. His legal team says the harm occurred during a chaotic struggle and contends the evidence can be read
