The case brief said Calleja’s outburst on Sept. 11, 2025, at
their flat in Wei Chien Court on Long Yuet Street, Hung Hom, came after she confirmed
that her partner Guillermo Fuego Jr. was having an affair.
Fuego was wounded with a knife in the right lower abdomen and was taken to hospital for treatment.
In mitigation, her lawyer said Calleja, stabbed her partner
in a spur of the moment.
She said she also wanted to reconcile with the victim.
