Abby Choi Case: Fingerprints of Kwong Kong-kit Found on Canvas in Fridge at Lung Mei Village; Kwong Kau's Fingerprints on Chainsaw's Chinese Instruction Manual; Forensic Expert Says Gloved Contact May Not Leave Prints

The Abby Choi case continues, with the prosecution reading out admitted facts stating that police found Kwong Kong-kit's fingerprints on the fridge and blue-and-white striped canvas in the large bedroom of the Lung Mei Village flat in Tai Po, while Kwong Kau's fingerprints were found on the chainsaw's Chinese instruction manual. Chief Inspector Law Pui-kei of the Forensic Science Division said 111 prints were collected in this case, that Hong Kong fingerprint examination generally requires at least 12 matching characteristics before a person can be confirmed, and that contact with objects while wearing gloves generally does not leave fingerprints. The defence questioned whether multiple officers searching the premises during the first police entry may have contaminated evidence, and the officer responsible for evidence collection reiterated that procedures were followed.
