The Filipina will be trieid in Eastern Court after denying the charge |
A Filipina domestic helper will be tried in Eastern Court in
September on eight counts of ill-treating her two young wards on four occasions
last year.
Magistrate Bina Chainrai set the trial after the defendant,
K.B., pleaded not guilty today, Jun 2, to ill-treating her employers’ children,
aged 3 and 5, in the family’s flat on Conduit Road in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong.
The prosecution said the incidents happened in April, June, July
and August last year.
The Filipina was quiet and sullen as the magistrate and
lawyers from the prosecution and defense panels discussed preparations for the
trial.
The prosecution said it had obtained medical reports on the
impact of the ill-treatment on the two victims.

Chainrai set the trial for Sept 7-8 after consulting lawyers
for both sides.
She directed the prosecution to submit the facts of the case
three days before the trial and the defense to prepare its objections to the
video recorded interviews in writing.

The magistrate extended the bail of K.B. under the same
terms and told her return to the court on the trial dates.
