Before passing the sentence, Judge Johnny Chan Jong-herng pointed out that the defendant bought the knife two days before he committed the offence after he ran into Lee on a bus.

The attack occurred when the victim and his two colleagues were carrying out maintenance work at the ATM machines.

Under caution, the defendant told police that he had no intention of killing Lee and only wanted to “teach him a lesson”.

“The defendant wanted to use the mental disorder defence but it was not accepted by the jury,” Chan said.

The judge dismissed the defence’s mitigation suggesting that Cheung was not a violent person and the murder was an “individual case”, after the court learned he had a previous conviction for a similar violent assault.

Judge Chan also mentioned the autopsy report, which stated that a 10-cm long wound was found on the victim’s body.

The defendant also injured Lau, who tried to stop the attack. He was sentenced to six months for assaulting Lau.

Judge Chan ordered Cheung to serve six months concurrent to his life sentence.
