Kenneth Tung Hoi-yi, who previously led the bank\u2019s financial sponsors group in Asia-Pacific, was also awarded legal costs on Tuesday, after Eastern Court decided that he did not draw suspicion upon himself during the alleged incident at Redhill Peninsula on southern Hong Kong Island on April 19, 2025.<\/p>\n
Tung\u2019s wife, Tang Chun-mei, testified in last month\u2019s trial that she and her three children had avoided contact with the defendant since he became temperamental after losing his job in February that year.<\/p>\n
The court heard the couple argued on April 19 over who would look after their children, during which Tung reportedly taunted his wife as being \u201clow-educated\u201d and a \u201cshrew\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tang claimed her husband struck her on the head eight times inside their bedroom and tried to attack their son, who began screaming, prompting Tung\u2019s mother to kneel down and beg him to stop.<\/p>\n

After the alleged assault, Tang drove her children and mother-in-law to meet relatives in Central and Quarry Bay before returning home that evening. She reported the incident to police the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Hong Kong court has acquitted a former HSBC banker of assaulting his wife at their home in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[20667],"tags":[23744,6385,9758,23745,1772,9881,23748,23749,23747,3031,23746],"class_list":["post-47423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hsbc","tag-common-assault","tag-divorce","tag-domestic-violence","tag-eastern-court","tag-hong-kong","tag-hsbc","tag-kenneth-tung-hoi-yi","tag-kestrel-lam-tsz-hong","tag-redhill-peninsula","tag-stanley","tag-tang-chun-mei"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@UnitedKingdom\/116629678536276420","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/britain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
