A Filipina facing two drug trafficking charges along with a fellow domestic helper, had a pleasant surprise today at the Kowloon City Court when prosecutors withdrew the charges against her.
“Does that mean I have no more case?”asked C. Padillo, 30
years old, through an interpreter.
“No more case,” Magistrate Philip Chan answered.

She walked free later after signing release documents and
retrieving two items that were presented as evidence against her.
It was not explained why the charges against her of violating section
4(1) (a) and (3) of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance were withdrawn.
Padillo’s co-accused, Alisa Tandual, 29 years old, remained in detention and was to be charged with a number of drug-related charges at a separate hearing.

Police arrested the two over two separate occasions last January 22 at the first floor of 542 Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei.
The first alleged offense took place in Room 1 and the second in Room 3.
They were both charged subsequently with drug trafficking.
