Last update date: 2020-07-15 13:07The scaffolding worker accidentally pressed the electric drill to loosen the screw cap when setting up the scaffolding at Tsing Yi Scenic Garden in June last year, so that the dog boom fell and shot the sixty-year-old woman who passed by the grandson. The scaffolder pleaded guilty to allowing things to fall from a height. The defense today (15th) pleaded with the West Kowloon Magistrates' Court that the defendant was working in accordance with security measures that day. He was very concerned about the deceased and his family because of a temporary negligence. Sorry. Chief Magistrate Luo Dequan accepted the recommendations of the social service order report and sentenced the social service order to 240 hours.
The defendant Hu Chunshen (32 years old) has now transferred to woodworking, and he pleaded guilty to the charge on June 25 last year.
Pleading for regret
The defense submitted a letter of appeal written by the employer at the time of the defendant’s case, stating that the defendant was diligent, prudent and responsible, and was willing to hire him again. The defense continued, the report also stated that the defendant regretted it and was very sorry for the deceased and his family. He also said that the defendant engaged in labor work and needed to take care of two young children. He hoped the court would adopt the report and establish a light sentence.

The victim and his grandson were shot dead
The case alleges that the defendant set up a shed outside a unit on the 28th floor of the 7th courtyard of Meijing Garden on the same day. Two colleagues worked together. After the incident, the police came to the scene to investigate and learned that the defendant suddenly yelled: "Hey, big wok! Let's go!" The defendant told his colleagues that when tightening the screw with an electric drill, he pressed the wrong button to loosen the screw cap. Intentional but not pressing the real dog boom. At the time, the 63-year-old woman passing by with her grandson was hit by a dog's arm frame, and her skull fractured and her brain tissue was exposed. She died on the same day.
