Wallis WangFormer University of Hong Kong academic Cheung Kie-chung killed his wife over money and there was no evidence that he lost self-control, the prosecution said in its closing address yesterday. But the defense said the prosecution should only find Cheung guilty of murder if they could prove he is a cold-blooded killer. He also argued that Cheung suffered from depression and was not his usual self when he committed the crime. He also said Cheung lied after he killed Chan because he did not know how to deal with his abnormal behavior. He added that Cheung lost weight sharply between April and August 2018, as his workload increased a lot and he also had to deal with family clashes from time to time.
