A dinner pally was abruptly broken up at about 10.30 p.m. yesterday, a sing song girl was killed and a Japanese, whose name could not be ascertained up to an early hour this morning, sustained a slight wound to his left arm, when two armed men burst into the foam in Which the dinner party was taking place at a sing song house 36, Bing Hed Lee, Bing Von Ks, off Canton fited about five shots and decamped before an alarm could be raised.
Shortly Before the shooting, three Chinese, three Japanese and four or five sing song girls had seated themselves preparatory to partaking of the meal.
While detectives from Louza Station, who are making the investigations, are yet looking for a motive, the modus operandi suggests the shots were intended for one or more Chinese guests at the party.
The sing song girl who was killed, was not an employee of the establishment, but had herself come as a guest. The room had been reserved for a certain Mr. Lee and detective: were endeavouring to ascertain the names of all those having attended the dinner party.
The injured Japanese, it was understood, had taken a car and presumably departed for the Foo Min Hospital.
