The missing star witness at a football match-fixing trial turned up in court yesterday, prompting surprise and a defence demand for 'a full disclosure' of events since his disappearance on Friday.
Chan Tsz-kong, 26, surrendered to Eastern Court before Magistrate Robert McNair, who had issued a warrant for his arrest.
He was scheduled to testify on Friday in the prosecution against three fellow footballers accused of plotting to throw a World Cup qualifying match against Thailand in March 1997.
He did not appear despite a prosecution promise of having him on 'standby'.
Defence counsel Peter Duncan demanded 'a full disclosure as to all matters relevant to the willingness or otherwise of this witness to give evidence'.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption told the court last Friday of Chan's reservations about giving evidence at the trial and another hearing involving a different footballer.
