Missing nightclub hostess left love note for Hong Kong director boyfriend
Man charged with murder told court he believed mistress had moved out of flat
A nightclub hostess who disappeared from her Kowloon Bay flat four years ago left a note for her boyfriend that read, "I love you forever," the High Court heard on Wednesday.
Company director Ivan Chan Man-sum, 42, said he found the note with a HK$100 banknote that had been folded into the shape of a heart on a cabinet in the bedroom of Chun Ka-yee, 33, on October 10, 2011.
Chan, who has been charged with Chun's murder, said he went to the flat with a decorator the day he discovered she was missing, and found all her cash and jewellery gone.
"I believed then she was not coming back," Chan said.
Chan denies murdering Chun in her flat at Amoy Gardens, Kowloon Bay, on October 6, 2011. Chun's body was never found.
Chan said he went to Chun's flat and broke up with her on October 6. "[Chun] told me at the time that her marriage was also damaged by another woman. She herself did not want to do any harm to my family."
Chan, who had bought the flat for Chun, later offered her money but Chun became very angry.
