It was more than fung shui, says defence lawyer in Nina Wang case
Intimate videos of Wang and Chan show they had a deeper relationship, says counsel
Describing the relationship between late tycoon Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum and alleged will forger Peter Chan Chun-chuen as one related to fung shui would degrade the famed businesswoman, Chan's lawyer said yesterday.
Barrister Andrew Kan also said playing in court videos which showed Wang locking lips with Chan and his hands running all over her body was not meant to degrade Wang.
"In fact there is nothing degrading to Nina Wang. She was happy [in the video]. She was smiling. We see a person who lost her husband and had no children appearing in the video to be happy. What's the problem with that?" Kan said in his closing argument.
"How could you keep a smile for 50 minutes … 40 minutes. She didn't need to pretend," Kan said referring to the duration of the two videos.
Chan is being tried in the Court of First Instance on accusations that he forged a 2006 will purportedly leaving Wang's fortune to him that he used in an effort to claim the estate.
Kan also said Wang had decided to receive high doses of hormones that caused her fatal cancer because she genuinely wanted to have a child with Chan.
"Why should such a successful businesswoman take such a risk? Nina Wang was not an ordinary person. I think ordinary people would not do that at an advanced age - at 56. That's why she's successful," Kan said.
