A 47-YEAR-OLD masseuse, who tried to get her young lover to give up his new girlfriend, was killed in a hotel room row, the High Court heard yesterday.
Testifying in his defence, lorry attendant Lau Fuk-yu, 27, said Chu Lan-heung bit him on the abdomen through his shirt, clawed his face and gripped his penis.
''That was a sensitive spot for me and it hurt very, very much,'' he said.
He told the court he then squeezed Ms Chu's neck to make her let go, but had no intention of causing her serious harm.
Lau has denied murdering Ms Chu in a room at the San Diego Hotel in Yau Ma Tei on July 10 last year, after they checked in at around midnight. Her body was found on the bed by hotel staff at 11 am.
The defendant told Deputy Judge Daniell and a jury that he had a wife and child in China. In 1990 he answered a newspaper advertisement for a male usher at a massage establishment owned by Ms Chu.
