Prostitute admits hitting colleague

A PROSTITUTE has admitted assaulting a colleague later found dead.

Ho Suk-yee's body was so badly decomposed the cause of death could not be determined, Judge Beeson was told at the District Court. She had cut wounds and bruising on her body.

Chau Fong, 20, yesterday admitted assaulting Ho and causing bodily harm.

Chau and Ho were prostitutes at Tung Lok Villa, Yuen Long, the court heard.

On September 12 last year, the villa operator and another man tracked down Ho, who was often absent, and took her to the villa and beat her for about an hour, the court heard.

Chau and another woman joined in and Chau hit Ho's head about six times.
