Afterwards, they found 3 men in the car's driving recorder. A woman once discussed damaging the facilities of a light rail station in the car, and 4 people were charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage.
The case was decided in the District Court today (5th). Judge Yao Xunzhi believed that although the four people were involved in the discussion about destroying the facility, it was only after the female defendant got off the car that the three men formally discussed the details of the action and seemed to have reached an agreement, so he only ruled The 3 men were convicted, and the case was postponed to January 27 and sentenced, pending the background report of each person.
Four defendants: Li Junhao (24 years old, owner of an optical shop), Zhang Qinwei (24 years old, tennis coach), Li Huai'en (23 years old, market administrator) and Zhuang Shihui (25 years old, female, cartographer), all charged with one string The crime of conspiring to commit criminal damage means that they conspired to damage the property of the MTR Corporation Limited, that is, the facilities of the Light Rail Station, on September 5, 2019.
The first three defendants were convicted, and Zhuang was found not guilty.
Police intercepted and found hammers and other tools on the car
The case alleged that the police stopped and stopped a private car in Tuen Mun in the early morning of the same day. There were only three male defendants in the car. The police also found hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches and pliers in the car and seized tools at the same time. The car's driving recorder conducted an investigation and found that everyone was chasing in the car that night. It was also found from the defendant's mobile phone that the female defendant had also participated in the discussion. The conversation included: the route passed, how to destroy the light rail station, and the escape route.
The female defendant had a clear intention after getting out of the car
At the time of the ruling, Yao Guan stated that the recording records showed that the four people had discussed the plan together, including which light rail station facilities to damage and how to avoid the camera, but only after the female defendant got off the car, the rest of the people discussed the content of the action.
Yao Guan believes that the dialogue between the three male defendants has obviously reached an agreement and has clear intentions, including targeting the facilities at the Tuen Mun Ferry Light Rail Station, and deciding escape and cross-dressing routes.
Therefore, only 3 male defendants were convicted.
