The two young men illegally entered the closed MTR Tseung Kwan O Station in October last year and broke 14 platform glass curtain doors. The other 4 curtain doors were obviously scratched. The maintenance cost exceeded 2.61 million.
The two were originally sentenced today (11th) for the crime of entering the house. One of the defendants’ father suddenly revealed in court that his son had a mental problem and was required to take medicine on time. He did not take the medicine before the incident, so the judge detained him. After the case, he asked for two psychiatric reports for him and will be sentenced on the 24th of this month.
Two defendants: Lu Zhicong (21 years old, waiter) and Lin Jun (24 years old, unemployed).
The charges are that the two illegally invaded the MTR Tseung Kwan O Station on October 8 last year with intent to illegally damage the building and anything in the station.

Don't want to be labeled without mentioning mental issues
The father of the first defendant sitting in the public gallery suddenly said that his son actually had mental problems and needed to take medicine on time, but he did not take the medicine before the incident. The trainer questioned why the situation was not disclosed early in the morning. His father explained that the first defendant I don't want to be labeled, so I haven't disclosed the situation, but "Yijia can't do it."
The trainer decided to obtain two psychiatric reports for the first defendant before sentenced.
