Update | I was scared but physically and emotionally unharmed, insists Hong Kong kidnap victim
Bossini heiress Queenie Rosita Law thanks parents for their efforts; police vow to catch gang members if they start spending marked notes
Looking solemn, an heiress to the Bossini clothing empire said yesterday she was scared, but physically and emotionally unharmed after a kidnapping ordeal that saw six men escape with HK$28 million in ransom money, as police vowed they would be caught when they started spending the marked bills.
Queenie Rosita Law, granddaughter of late Bossini founder Law Ting-pong, held a brief press conference last night, her first public appearance since being released by her kidnappers on Tuesday night.
Taking to the stage alone in front of a barrage of camera flash bulbs in a ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Central, the 29-year-old was grim-faced but calm throughout the three-minute session.
"I want to make use of this press conference to tell everyone that neither my spirit nor my body suffered or sustained any injury because of the kidnap," she said.
"I hope the media will understand that as the police are still investigating the case, there's not much detail I can disclose. I plead for your understanding. I hope friends from the media will give me some room as I was greatly scared by the kidnapping."
She also thanked her parents for their "exhaustive running around".
