Taikoo Shing, where offense was committed |
A Filipina domestic helper was jailed for eight months today after admitting that she stole 11 pieces of jewelry from her employer’s flat in Tai Koo Shing.
Principal Magistrate Don So handed down the sentence on Dorothea
Suedad, 47 years old, right after she pleaded guilty at a hearing in Eastern
Court.
Suedad was charged with theft for stealing one bracelet, two pieces of gold and 10 watches, between Jan. 1
and June 19 this year.

In a separate case, Magistrate So returned Arturo Patricio,
48 years, to jail custody after a bail review since the latter did not make a
new bail application.
A police complaint accused Patricio of “unlawfully and maliciously”
wounding a local, To Po-keung, last June 26 at the 2nd floor of Neng
Heng Sheng House in Sheung Wan.
His next court date is scheduled for Sept. 24.
