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 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.
