Transcript of the Audio Recording
of the Sentence in the above Case

---------------------------------

COURT: Chung Chun-fung and Wong Chun-man, you have both been convicted of the brutal murder of Poon Ka-yan. It was senseless because it was so unnecessary. His crime was simply not to show you and your friends the respect which you thought you deserved.

I will be sending a report on your cases to the Chief Executive in order to assist the Long-Term Prison Sentences Review Board when the board comes to review your sentences. In preparing that report, I will bear in mind everything which Mr Percy and Mr Chui have said today. But as you know, the sentence for the crime of murder is fixed by law. I have no discretion in the matter.

Accordingly, the sentence I pass on each of you is one of imprisonment for life.
