Hong Kong couple deny murdering daughter, 5, who died after months of ‘torture in hell’


A Hong Kong couple have denied murdering their five-year-old daughter who prosecutors said died of septicaemia after her immunity was weakened by 150 days of neglect, horrifying “games” and torture “in hell”.

The High Court on Wednesday heard the child was found with more than 130 injuries over her body, after she was rushed unconscious – in a diaper – to hospital and certified dead on January 6, 2018.
