The armed man produced a pistol and without hesitating, shot three times. Two shots went astray, while the third penetrate ed Mr. Sze's cheek. Bleeding profusely, the victim collapsed on ficer, while the gunmen hurried to escape.
An SFB. emergency ambulance was immediately called and the wounded man was taken to the Lester Chinese Hospital where his condition, although serious, was not be-leved to be hopeless.
The police came to the scene a few minutes after the shooting, but although the area underwent a minute search, no traces whatever were discovered of the would-be assassins. Detectives investigating the case could not state the motive yesterday, saying that the victim had been questioned in hospital, but that he could throw no light on the case.
However, while some circles believed the attempt to be inspired by politics, others maintained that the crime had been committed for revenge.
