HK mother jailed for dumping dead son in rubbish

HONG KONG - A 29-year-old Hong Kong mother was jailed for 32 months on Tuesday for dumping the body of her three-year-old son in the rubbish after he choked to death on a sticky dumpling.

Leung Man Ki, a single mother, was sentenced in Hong Kong's district court for 32 months for preventing the burial of a corpse, according to a judiciary spokeswoman.

The court had heard how Leung had fed her son a glutinous chicken dumpling for breakfast last June, but it got lodged in the child's throat and caused his death.

She then discarded the boy's body in a plastic bag and left it with other trash on the street. The body was taken away by a rubbish truck to a landfill and has never been recovered.

Leung had originally been charged with murder, but the charge was reduced to the lesser offences of cruelty and prevention of burial. -- REUTERS

If the boy is choke on rice dumpling, the mother should at least quickly bring the boy to the nearest hospital or clinic to remove the lodged rice dumpling.

I guess she never bothered much. =.="

Why wasn't she brought for some mental testing or something?

if the body was never recovered how can they believe her claims of her son choking to death. imagine she killed him and only got 3 weeks. goodness. cant even ascertain the cause of her son's death. if he really died from choking on sticky dumpling.

The mother is irresponsible, so she took the easy way out, by dumping her boy.
