Nina Wang's nephew describes umbrella attack in court

The sight of a man holding an umbrella on a sunny day alerted the nephew of late billionaire Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum, seconds before four attackers lying in ambush at his workplace in Tsuen Wan pounced on him, the District Court heard.

Kung Ho, 36, said he was bashed by the umbrella in his face and the right side of his mouth. His lips and gums swelled and he suffered pain in his teeth.

Ho turned up in court yesterday flanked by five plain-clothes police officers to give his testimony on the June 7 attack.

He and his wife drove to his office at Nina Tower as usual at about 8.45am, the court heard.

As they crossed the car park to the lift lobby, four men stood in a corner, with one of them holding an umbrella.

"As far as I remembered, it was a sunny day, I paid attention to that man [with the umbrella]," Kung said. "Then all of a sudden, the four men rushed at me and I was bashed with the umbrella."

Abbas Yasir, 32, Malik Zohaib Naeem, 27, Iqbal Pervaiz, 25, and Ravi Dass, 28, are charged with one count of wounding Ho with intent.
