Prosecutors alleged that the Ma On Shan resident murdered her grandson, Endless Cheng Ting-hin, 6, on Sunday at the Beverley Hotel in the Capital Building, on Lockhart Road in Wan Chai.

Principal Magistrate Peter Law Tak-chuen adjourned the case to Friday.

But Kan could be brought to court at an earlier date if she is fit for discharge before Friday.
