A Filipina domestic helper was returned to jail Monday to wait for the elevation of her case of drug trafficking from Eastern Court to the Court of First Instance.
Alisa Tandual, 29 years old, had been charged with C. Padillo, 30 years old, with trafficking in a dangerous drug, contrary to the
Dangerus Drugs Ordinance after they were both arrested on Jan. 22 on the first
floor of an unnamed building -- 542 Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei.
But Padillo was earlier cleared after similar charges against her were
withdrawn last June 2. (read the full story here: https://www.sunwebhk.com/2025/06/pinay-dh-accused-of-drug-trafficking.html).
Magistrate Minnie Wat set Oct. 13 as Tandual’s return day
after prosecutors presented the latest list of drugs she allegedly trafficked:
1,857.1 grams of a solid containing 1,806.9 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride
(also known as ice or shabu), 159 grams of a solid containing 108 grams of
cocaine, ang 42 grams of a mixture containing 35,9 grams of heroin hydrochloride.
Meanwhile, an unemployed Filipino has been acquitted of the
charge of “assault occasioning actual body harm” after a trial at the Kowloon
City Court.
Deputy Magistrate Polly Chuang cleared Allen Gomez, 51 years
old, ending the one-day trial on Monday by ruling that the prosecution failed to
prove that Allen Gomez, 51 years old, had violated the Common Law and should be
punished under section 39 of the Offenses against the Person Ordinance.

The ordinance set a maximum penalty of three years in jail
for the offence.
Gomez had earlier denied that he assaulted a female named Mai Zhimin outside the Ambulatory Care Centre of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kowloon last April 28.
