By the time the trio had finished (three-five minutes), Ho had a broken right arm, badly broken nose, damage to the right eye, and sundry other head injuries. He's in Queen Mary Hopital, Pokfulam.
The emerging consensus is that the attack is linked to Ho's work as a lawyer. To wit, his representing Winnie Ho Yuen-ki (no relation). The aging Ms Ho is embroiled in ongoing legal battles -- fourteen in Macau, four in Hong Kong. At stake are vast oceans of money (see link, below). Another lawyer working on behalf of Ms Ho has already been attacked and sustained head injuries.
Two Hos, one to go. Sister Ho's brother, Stanley. For it is he that she is in dispute with. Stanley Ho, you will recall, held the monopoly (along with his partner the sinister Henry Fok) for forty-five years to own and operate (until 2002) all the casinos in Macau. Stanley got inordinately rich on other people's greed and bad luck. An octagenarian and polygamist, Stanley Ho is also a Latin American ballroom dancer, money launderer (a casino in Pyongyang, North Korea), airline, shipping and property magnate, medal emblazoned holder of honoray doctorates, and backroom political operator. He denies any connection with triads. Well, he would, wouldn't he?
