Sobbing woman describes killing her lover's wife

A BARBECUE meat vendor sobbed yesterday as she told how she killed her lover's wife after tying her to a chair and grabbing her neck in an armlock.

Grandmother Chin Yin-ho, 47, who later burnt and chopped up the body, also revealed how she tried to give love rival Chung Chor-kuen the kiss of life in a desperate attempt to revive her.

Chin admitted lashing out in a heated row over a meat stall which Chung's husband Law Fuk-shing, 33, had given her during their four-year affair.

But Chin, who got her 10-year-old granddaughter to help dispose of the body, denied murdering Chung, 32, whom she had once considered ''a sister''.

She claimed she had only tied Chung up after her former friend came at her with a knife.

Yesterday, Chin told the High Court how she abducted Chung on July 5 after learning the licence had been cancelled on her stall.

She said they had talked into the night at her flat in Plover Cove Garden, Tai Po, but things turned nasty when Chung started insulting her.
