High Court jury clears security guard Chan Kwai-sang of murdering Chan Hang-sze, accepts he was provoked into killing
An elderly man has been convicted of manslaughter for strangling his daughter in Hong Kong three years ago after a jury accepted he was provoked into committing the act.
A High Court jury of three men and four women on Thursday unanimously cleared security guard Chan Kwai-sang, 74, of murdering his daughter Chan Hang-sze, 32, but convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter on the basis of her provocation.
The trial heard the defendant had frequent quarrels with his daughter and ex-wife over trivial matters when they lived together at a flat in Mong Kok’s Hoi Fu Court in the lead-up to the killing on March 7, 2022.
