Death leap after attack

A MAN jumped nine floors to his death yesterday after slashing a woman and her mother following rows over love and money.

The two women, who suffered head and back injuries, were last night in a critical condition in Kwong Wah Hospital.

A fierce argument apparently broke out as Lee Chun-chau, 27, visited Lau Fung-chun, 25, in her sixth floor flat in Fu On Mansion, Tung Choi Street, Yau Ma Tei.

Police said Lee apparently slashed his lover, Ms Lau, then attacked her mother, Zheng Chan, 51, who is visiting from China.

Resident Leung Kai, 65, said he saw Lee sitting on a fence near his ninth floor home.

'I realised something was wrong because the man kept sitting there without moving for almost 10 minutes,' Mr Leung said.
