Two young Filipinas appeared in Kwun Tong court earlier today, to each face a charge of assaulting a Filipina teen in the carpark of a housing estate in February this year.
The cases against Hannah
R. Gacad, 18 years old, and Laura P del Rosario, 20, were consolidated, and
were set down for hearing again on Jan 2, 2024. Until then, their bail of
$1,000 each was extended.

They both face a charge
of assaulting Nashia Grace Respicio on February 6, 2023, inside the parking lot
of Tsui Ping South Estate in Kwun Tong, causing her actual bodily harm.
Earlier reports said the
two were arrested separately two days after the alleged incident. Both went to court accompanied by friends and family members.

Respicio, said to be 17
years old, went to the police and reported being attacked by several girls in the
parking lot of the public estate. She reportedly suffered bruises on her face,
waist and upper arm, and sought treatment at United Christian Hospital by
herself.
Following her complaint,
the police arrested Gacad in her home in Yau Ma Tei and Del Rosario in Kowloon
City. They were released on bail after an investigation.

In court, Gacad’s
counsel said they were ready to enter a plea, but agreed to reserve it for
later after the two cases were joined and the second defendant asked for more
time to study the case.
Assistant Principal
Magistrate Daniel Tang extended the defendants’ bail and warned them not to
approach or interfere with prosecution witnesses.
