1 found guilty over ‘Dragon Slaying’ bomb plot to kill Hong Kong police, 6 acquitted

The plot involved the planting of two bombs along Hennessy Road in Wan Chai on December 8, 2019.

The jurors unanimously decided to clear Cheung Chun-fu, Cheung Ming-yu, Yim Man-him, Christian Lee Ka-tin and Justin Hui Cham-wing of all charges.

The jury also found all six men not guilty of conspiring to murder police officers.

The seventh and only female defendant, Lau Pui-ying, was found not guilty of a conspiracy to provide or collect property for committing terrorist acts.

The prosecution argued the plot was hatched between brigade leader Wong Chun-keung and Ng in a meeting on November 18, 2019.

In the meeting, the two had planned that the brigade would draw police out onto the street, while Ng would detonate a small bomb packed with 2kg of explosives.

They predicted police would then retreat to their headquarters on Arsenal Street, with sniper David Su to ambush officers as Ng set off the larger bomb containing 8kg explosives and 150 nails.

Wong, Ng, Su and Eddie Pang Kwan-ho earlier pleaded guilty to taking part in the conspiracy.
