A teenage girl told a jury yesterday how an accused rapist claimed to have pushed a 13-year-old girl to her death from a multi-storey block with his palms in the position of a Buddha. Chui Suk-kwan, 17, testified that Wong Chi-wai, 23, told her and other friends to lie to police about the death of Man Sau-ying, known as Man Man. She told the Court of First Instance that she agreed to Wong's order and later lied in a police statement because she was frightened of him. Wong denies murdering Man Man, whose body was found in the car park of Ming Shun House, where she lived, at Siu Lik Yuen, Sha Tin, on May 5 last year. Prosecutor Nicolas Adams has said the defendant, whom the 13-year-old girl accused of rape, was angry and wanted her to withdraw the allegation. The prosecution alleged Wong pushed the girl to her death to stop her testifying against him. Suk-kwan yesterday told the court Wong brought Man Man to the flat of his friend To Sin-yee in the block where the girl lived. Three other people were in the flat at the time. She said the defendant slapped Man Man's face twice and asked her whether she had contacted the police. The court heard Wong also telephoned another friend, Tse Wai-lun, 15, telling him Man Man was going to jump 'from a height' that night. Suk-kwan said Man Man lowered her head and cried after she heard the conversation. Later Wai-lun joined the group and they started playing mahjong while Man Man sat on the sofa. At about 11pm, Suk-kwan said, Wong told Man Man to go to the balcony and forced her to write farewell letters. The pair later left the flat and went to the staircase between the 21st and 22nd floors. Suk-kwan said she and two others later went out to see what the pair were doing. She said she heard Wong telling Man Man she had only five minutes to live. Wong allegedly told them to go back to the flat. They saw Man Man's body in the car park shortly afterwards. When Wong returned to the flat, he allegedly told them he had pushed Man Man from the building. 'Chai Kei [Wong's nickname] told us earlier on he had asked Man Man whether she was brave enough to jump down. Man Man did not say anything. He then said he used the Buddha's palms to push her down,' Suk-kwan said, demonstrating how Wong allegedly pushed Man Man with his palms turned outwards. 'He told us when Man Man was falling, she was looking upwards and looking at him.' She said that later Wong gave them the three letters written by Man Man to read. He had then told her and Wai-lun to burn them. The group continued playing cards and watching television for about an hour. She said Wong then told them to lie to police. They were interviewed by police the following day and Wong was later arrested. When questioned by defence barrister John Haynes, Suk-kwan denied she had exaggerated Wong's conversations, turning his words into a serious threat. The trial continues before Mr Justice Thomas Gall.
