Businessman bailed after 'breaking into TV host Shen Xing's home'
A mainland businessman who was arrested for breaking into a Phoenix TV presenter's home intending to hurt her was released on bail yesterday after being remanded in custody for 12 days.
Li is the chairman of mainland-based car dealer Abest Group, and Shen, 38, is a host of Phoenix TV's fine-dining show Belle Gourmet.
The businessman, who came to Hong Kong on a two-way permit, was charged with burglary and possession of prohibited weapons on August 23, a day after he was arrested.
The prosecution alleged he broke into Shen's home at Jade Court, Peony Road, Sham Shui Po, on August 22, with intent to "inflict grievous bodily harm" on her. He was said to have been carrying a retractable baton.
He has not entered pleas.
Granting Li's third request for bail yesterday, Mr Justice Derek Pang Wai-cheong of the Court of First Instance ordered him to surrender his travel documents.
