Talk about slow bureaucracy! Two years! If he was convicted of murder, there should not be any debate about his professional conduct or negative impact on the medical profession. Yet it took two years for the Council to reach this conclusion?

I doubt he would have been practising medicine from behind bars.

That's not the point though. The point is why it took 2 years for the Medical Council to come to this obvious decision when, at most, only a few months is necessary.

Pretty obvious really!

Whoosh. Missing the point. Why did it took the Council two years to come to this decision? This is matter of the functioning of the Council, not whether the man was in jail or not.

Hehe, yes you got a point there I admit. But my issue is that whether he is in prison or not is not the real issue. One is entitled to a hearing in a reasonably expeditious manner regardless of his personal circumstances. This delay does raise question as to the efficiency of the Council...

Hong Kong’s top court has on Tuesday quashed the convictions of former associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Khaw Kim Sun over the so-called yoga-ball murder of his wife and daughter in 2015 and ordered a retrial.

Khaw’s side argued that police only investigated the yoga-ball in the car and searched for the stopper about half a year later. During that period police didn’t find anything, and only found a stopper in a drawer in Khaw’s room a year later.

The defense believe that the original judge misled the jury into thinking that the stopper had gone missing when the case occurred as the judge didn’t mention while guiding the jury that the exhibit officer couldn’t find the stopper.

I'm not sure I get the grounds for quashing but then I'm not a judge/ lawyer
