Elizabete Kwong decides to let Amigo Chui go, sentenced 1 year probation

Amigo Chui's girlfriend assault case has been dragging on for nearly half a year, it was said that yesterday at the court hearing Elizabete Kwong suddenly agreed to let Amigo go and not prosecute him. The court sentenced him on probation for a year. Although Elizabete agreed to let Amigo off for the assault case, yesterday during the hearing she had a frown on her face the whole time.

No conviction, $5000 fine

The case was adjourned 3 times until 12:30pm. It was said that pleaded not guilty Amigo and his lawyer hoped the sentence would just be a probation and free of conviction. After hearing the suggestion and agreeing that it works, Elizabete agreed. The court eventually only sentenced Amigo to probation for a year with a fine of $5000, he is not to be involved in any violence with other people within the year, otherwise he will be convicted.

The Real Story

According to the case, on the day of the incident, a fight started between the two because Elizabete was unhappy with Amigo's ex-girlfriend calling him. Amigo ordered Elizabete to get her personal belongings and leave, he also requested that she delete all their shared photos and text messages from her cell phone. Elizabete refused to and returned to the room to pack up her stuff. Amigo stormed into the room and hit Elizabete's head from the back. Elizabete lost her balance and fell to the ground, Amigo then climbed over her and grabbed her neck with one hand and his other hand on her chest. Then Amigo searched her handbag for the cell phone. Elizabete then tried to snatch the bag back from Amigo and they were pulling back and forth onto the bed. After Amigo successfully deleted the text messages and photos from the phone, he gave the phone back to Elizabete and she left the house. Elizabete went to the hospital immediately after to get a body check, the medical report confirmed her neck and chest had red marks that were 1cm long and felt pain the right side of her head. Fortunately, there was no internal bleeding from the injuries. After the hospital, Elizabete went to the police station in Wan Chai to report the case. The police was able to recover the deleted photos and text messages from her phone and used that as evidence.

Initially Elizabete attended the court hearing as a witness, but because she agreed to let Amigo off, she did not testify in court. After the hearing, Elizabete and Amigo exited the court looking like total "enemies", they did not make any eye contact at all.

Amigo shouts a Thank You

During the hearing, the prosecutor read out the details of the assault case, Elizabete had a frown on her face and started tearing up, she was emotionally unstable. Elizabete's manager and friends accompanied her when leaving the court, where they were surrounded by the Media. Although she stood still for pictures, but when asked about her current feeling and if she's satisfied with her decision, she did not want to respond. She appeared absence minded. Her manager came out and helped her answer by thanking the media. They then left in a taxi.

Not long after Elizabete left, Amigo appeared with his manager. Amigo's manager read out a statement to the media that they are satisfied with the sentence and agreed to it in several aspects. The court sentenced Amigo to a year in probation to solve the disputes between the ex-couple saved both parties time and shorten the amount of court hearings. After the statement, Amigo expressed: "This incident has caused my family, friends and people that support me to worry. Now that it has come to an end, there is nothing to worry about anymore." Amigo then shouted out a "Thank You" in a good mood to the surrounding media and onlookers who were taking pictures. However, when asked about Elizabete's teary eyes during the hearing, Amigo's mother who was also present expressed that is pleased to know that nothing happened to her son.

TVB will arrange work for Amigo if compatible

Also, it was said that Amigo being with TVB had always had a bottom line, so when will he return to work? TVB Director of Foreign Affairs (Tsang Sing Ming) said: "His earlier hosting job on "JSG" has already been replaced by someone else. In the future, if the right job comes along, TVB will consider making arrangements. Also he still has a management contract with TVB. As to how many years left, that cannot be revealed."
