Defence Enters Insanity Plea
A plea of insanity on behalf of a 17-year-old boy charged with the murder of one of his friends, was made by Mr S. V. Gittins, Counsel for the Defence, before Mr Justice Scholes at Criminal Sessions this morning.
Mr Gittins, instructed by Messrs Wilkinson and Grist, appeared for Cheung Kam-kwong who is alleged to have stabbed a 16-year-old friend Cheung Hui-lam, with a tri- angular tile on May 9. The victim died in hospital on July 4 as a result of his injuries. Prosecuting Counsel is Mr D. O'Reilly Mayne.
Admitting that the defence had no evidence to counter that of the prosecution, Mr Gittins said he hoped to prove that the defendant did not know what he was doing at the time of the murder, that his mind was disensed, and that he was in a state of temporary Insanity,
