A Hong Kong man who caused the death of his infant daughter by leaving her unattended for 37 hours as a result of a “stupid”, “irresponsible” plan to scare his wife has been jailed for four years and 10 months.
Madam Justice Esther Toh Lye-ping said the case was a family tragedy, as it was “obvious throughout the trial” that Cheung Ying-fai, 42, was a caring father who loved his three-month-old daughter, but was at the end of his tether because of how his young wife – who suffered from mild postnatal depression – had been acting.
