Hong Kong wardrobe murder accused did not tell partner about killing ex-girlfriend until she had his son
Admission by Oscar Mok, who met second woman after fleeing to mainland China, leads prosecutors to paint him as selfish, during trial over death of flight attendant ex-girlfriend
A Hong Kong man accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend did not tell his later partner about the killing until she had given birth to his son, a court heard on Thursday.
That revelation at the High Court, from the accused Oscar Mok Chun-yin, prompted prosecutors to trash his moral character on his third day in the witness box over the killing of 26-year-old Dragonair flight attendant Arbe Chan Man-yi.
“I suggest that you only think about yourself. You wouldn’t think about the consequences that would bring to the family,” prosecutor Jasmine Ching said.
She brought up an incident from Mok’s childhood, relayed earlier in court, when he threw away a games console because he did not want his cousin to have it.
“You destroyed [Chan] like you destroyed your video game machine years ago,” Ching said.
Mok, 31, denied murdering Chan on December 4, 2013, before hiding her body in a wardrobe. He did not dispute that he killed her, but argued it was manslaughter because Chan provoked him into an uncontrollable rage.
