It was alleged that Ho, on March 4, conspired, confederated and agreed to murder Cheung Man-li, 28, with Tsang Cheung-yan, Keith Lau and Cheung Sin-hang in Flat 9D of the DAN 6 industrial building on Fui Yiu Kok Street in Tsuen Wan.
Prosecutor So Kin-ho revealed that police found the victim at the flat on March 30. His girlfriend had reported him missing on March 7.
Based on CCTV records, it is believed the defendant and the victim were inside the flat with three men between 12.51pm and 2.16pm on March 4, the day So claimed Cheung was killed.
“Under caution, the defendant admitted she discussed the murder of the deceased with three males,” he continued.
