Woman whose family was killed in NZ wants smash case dropped
The sole survivor of a Hong Kong family killed in a New Zealand car crash in March has pleaded with police not to charge her with perverting the course of justice in relation to a traffic accident in Hong Kong in January.
In her solicitor's letter, Clara Ng Sze-wan, 32, claims she has been in serious distress since the March accident in which she lost her new husband, parents and sister.
'Her lawyer's letter has been made in the hope that the police will reconsider the case and not prosecute her due to her mental and physical suffering from the New Zealand incident,' a police source said.
The two-page lawyer's letter and her medical report was delivered to Tuen Mun police late last month.
'Whether she will be prosecuted or not will be a decision for the Department of Justice to make,' the same source said. 'We have submitted the results of our investigation together with her lawyer's letter and medical findings to the department.'
