One week after the female member of the Fencing Hong Kong team was found to be attacked by 721 in white last year, after the Yuen Long West Rail Station ceased service, a self-made transmitter and 30 waves were found on the stairs of the station. She today (14th) ) Was convicted of possession of offensive weapons in public places in the Tuen Mun Magistracy. The defense pleaded that the defendant brought first aid supplies to help others because she was worried that the citizens would be attacked by people in white again, and that she had accidentally brought the items involved in the case because she had forgotten to pick up her backpack. Magistrate Ye Qiliang finally sentenced the defendant to 6 weeks in jail, but granted her bail pending appeal.

The female defendant Liu Xiaomin (24 years old) was found to be in possession of offensive weapons in the stairwell of Exit H of Yuen Long Station on July 29 last year, namely a packet of 30 corks and a homemade launcher. The self-made launcher is the upper part of a glue bottle with a balloon attached to the mouth of the bottle. The defense revealed outside court that the defendant would appeal the conviction and sentence.

Arguing that the supplies are training camp props

During the interrogation, the defendant argued that the bozi involved in the case was originally intended to be used in the clip-bozi game of the university fencing training camp, and the so-called launcher was a water injector used when making water bombs. However, Yeguan believed that the launcher did not help the balloon to inject water, and pointed out that the defendant had used other props during the trial game earlier. The defendant once claimed that she had forgotten to pick up the backpack, so that the two things remained in the bag. He also said that she was afraid that her family members would throw them away as garbage and put the things in the backpack. But Yeguan wondered why only these two items were left in the backpack.

The official thinks the statement is unreasonable

In addition, the defendant claimed that the training camp was originally held around October last year. In order to avoid busy work later, he seized the summer time to prepare. Ye Guan said that when she met with the preparatory members, she was not in a hurry to demonstrate the usage of the utensils made, thinking that her statement was contradictory. Furthermore, the defendant and the preparatory members agreed that the game props were not difficult to produce, but they were produced several months earlier, which was also unreasonable. Due to the erratic testimony of the defense witnesses, the court refused to accept their testimony.

West Rail has stopped service but stayed at the scene

Ye Guan continued that the West Rail had ceased service at that time, and the defendant was still staying at the scene and carrying a large number of protective gear. In addition, she had heard rumors that people in white would reappear, reflecting that she expected chaos or chaos. Therefore, it was determined that the items involved must have been modified to hurt people. Expert witnesses from the prosecution have also tested that the self-made transmitter can eject waves.
