| Pila appeared in Eastern Court |
The defendant, 28-year-old Teofilo Pila, who works as a
bartender in Central, appeared before Magistrate Bina Chainrai on Aug 30.
According to the prosecution, Pila was arrested after he
trespassed into a building on Hok Loo Lane in Cheung Chau, and had gone up to
the second floor with an intention to
steal.
He allegedly tried to escape when somebody saw him break into
a room, but he was identified by witnesses before police arrested him.
The prosecution requested an eight-week adjournment of the
case for further enquiry and to wait for a fingerprint and DNA report from investigators.
Pila was refused bail but Magistrate Chainrai said he could make
a bail application at the Court of First Instance. – Vir B. Lumicao
