Incident Details
The incident occurred on May 31 last year at a residential building in Shau Kei Wan. A security camera was installed on the 15th-floor corridor, and footage shows Suen appearing about seven minutes after its installation. She made a pushing motion towards the camera, which then fell onto a first-floor platform.
Trial and Verdict
The defence argued that Suen had tried to open a window and accidentally dislodged the camera because it had not been securely installed. However, Deputy Magistrate Ho Tsz-chun found Suen guilty, stating that she had no apparent reason to go to the floor below her home to open the window, and her decision to leave quickly was difficult to explain.
