Hong Kong judge in 5-year-old girl’s murder trial tells jurors not to ‘let emotions affect your decision’

Jurors in the Hong Kong trial over the death of a five-year-old girl and the abuse of her brother were reminded on Thursday not to let feelings cloud their judgment while deliberating the fate of the children’s family members.

“You should not let your emotions affect your decision,” Mr Justice Albert Wong Sung-hau told the panel of three men and four women. “Please do not succumb to any emotional feelings as children are involved.”
