Liang Shengzu, the second defendant in the 1999 Hello Kitty corpse case, was charged with indecent assault when he massaged his friend’s 10-year-old daughter’s chest in December last year. He was convicted at the West Kowloon Court yesterday. The magistrate said that the defendant’s manslaughter conviction had been committed many years ago, and the court would not impose an additional sentence on this, but made it clear that the case would not be dealt with in a lenient way, and finally sentenced the defendant to 12 months in prison.
The defendant, Liang Shengzu, is 48 years old and reported to work as a waiter. Magistrate Shi Zuyao said in the ruling yesterday that the defense questioned that the girl X only remembered being touched on her chest, but did not remember how long she had known the defendant, etc., which were not the key to the case, and there was no key difference between the testimony of X and her mother. In addition, the defense questioned that X did not respond immediately when the defendant touched him, but Shi Guan believed that X was a 10-year-old girl and she might not be expected to resist like a young person or an adult.
Officer Shi rebuked the defendant for claiming that he did not massage X when he recorded his statement, and the court confessed that he demonstrated massage to his son and X. The statement was inconsistent with the statement in court. to make.
Original prisoner sentenced to life sentence commuted to 18 years on appeal
Some netizens have hotly discussed that Liang once participated in the corpse hiding case and committed the crime once more following his release. In 1999, a 23-year-old girl, Fan Minyi, was imprisoned in a tenement building on Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. The girl was dismembered following her death, and Liang Shengzu also participated. The girl’s body finally disappeared, and her head was boiled and stuffed into a Hello Kitty doll, hence the name of the case.
The police arrested three people following the incident, namely Chen Wenle, 33, Liang Shengzu, 26, and Liang Weilun, 19. By 2000, a High Court jury found the three defendants not guilty of murder but convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced them to life imprisonment. The three subsequently applied for an appeal. Only Liang Shengzu’s appeal was approved, and his sentence was changed to 18 years in prison in 2004. He was released from prison in 2011.
