Ko Po-ching, 39, told the Court of First Instance that her two husbands were the only men she had ever had sex with before she visited Chung Yee-keung, 54, last March.

Defence counsel John Mullick told the jury that Ko had not been Chung's secret lover, which was alleged by the prosecution.

The court has heard Chung was chopped 51 times after the couple dined together at his Tuen Mun home.

Ko, who denies murder, testified that Chung invited her to 'spend the night' for which he would lend her $5,000.

She went along, but as the man stripped and fondled her 'in a very rough manner', she demanded to leave. Chung would not let her go and 'then he raped me', the sobbing woman said.

'It was very late already after he had played with me like that. Both of us were very tired and we slept,' she said.
