Electric drill killer gets life in Hong Kong jail as victim’s mother says she will not forgive him
Mother claims she never got an apology over the loss of her daughter two years ago
The mother of a young woman bashed to death with an electric drill in Hong Kong nearly two years ago said she would not forgive her daughter’s murderer, who was jailed for life on Wednesday in a case the judge described as a tragic horror story.
“I hope my daughter is happy now for her justice,” Wilma Bayr told the Post after watching Safdar Husnain being sent away for life imprisonment over the murder of her daughter, Andrea. “I’m going to sue him, I hope somebody will help me financially.”
The Austrian-Filipino victim is survived by her widowed mother, a twin brother and four children – three of whom were now being cared for by the city’s social services.
Her then boyfriend, Husnain, a 28-year-old Pakistani security guard, blamed the drugs they took that night for giving him hallucinations and convincing him she was a witch who would kill him if he did not act first.
But the jury in its verdict rejected his account, after a psychiatric expert for the prosecution testified that Husnain willingly took the drugs and may not have experienced the psychotic symptoms if he had not done so.
