Unemployed woman involved in stealing cats from shops

The unemployed woman involved in a shop in Sham Shui Po took away the cat from the shop owner. After being arrested, she went to the cat owner to request cancellation of the case. She was charged with theft and obstruction of justice.

During the interrogation, she argued that she saw the shop cat smiling and talking to her, mistakenly thinking that it was a cat she had lost for many years.

The case was ruled in the West Kowloon Court today (2nd). The magistrate considered the unemployed woman’s claim to be unreasonable and unbelievable. He also pointed out that her lost cat was a long-tailed cat, but the short-tailed cat was involved in the case, and the color gap between the two cats was large. Believing that she had lobbied the case improperly, she was found guilty of both crimes.

The magistrate first obtained psychiatric, psychological, and background reports for her before giving her sentence. The case was postponed to December 16.

The female defendant Li Yuexia (49 years old, unemployed) was charged with stealing a Japanese bobcat belonging to Khanam Meher Nizer on Ruzhou Street in Sham Shui Po on January 16, 2021, and persuaded the victim not to pursue the theft on the 18th of the same month.

In his defense, the cat involved laughed and talked to her

In her defense, the defendant claimed that the cat involved in the case smiled and talked to her, thinking it was a cat that he lost years ago, so he took the cat away, and the police did not tell her not to harass the witness, so she went to the cat owner’s shop Just for apology and reconciliation.

The defendant's lost cat had a long tail

However, the magistrate believed that the defendant’s statement in his defense was unreasonable and logical. When he gave evidence, he evaded and argued that it was unbelievable. The cat that he lost many years ago had a very long tail, but the cat involved was a bobtail, and the two cats were of two colors. There is a big difference, and it is impossible for the defendant to think that the cat involved is just her lost cat.

Think the defendant wanted to take the cat as his own

The magistrate pointed out that the defendant cat did not belong to her, and when the police first contacted her, she refused to disclose the location of the cat, thinking that she wanted to take the cat as her own and convicted her of theft.

In addition, the magistrate also believed that the defendant had lobbied improperly to lead the case and the victim was a key witness in the case. If she did not pursue it, it would have an absolute impact on the prosecution of the case, so the defendant was found guilty of obstructing justice.

The defense pleaded that the defendant did not have a similar case. In the end, the cat was recovered and returned to the owner of the cat.
