SENTENCE APPEAL: CROWN COUNSEL REPLIES
The judges' rules in regard to taking of statements from an accused were merely rules of conduct to the Police, and it was the duty of the trial judge to examine the circumstances in which the statement was taken to see whether it was made voluntarily or not, submitted Mr J. McRobert, Crown Counsel at the continuation of the murder appeal hearing before the Full Court this morning.
Before the Full Court, comprising Mr Justice T. J. Gould, Acting Chief Justice, and Mr Justice J."Wicks, Acting Puisne Judge, two men, Yam Kwan-pak, alias Ah Kwan, 20, and Ho Kwong-tang, alias Ah Tang, 22, appealed against conviction by a Jury of murder of PC Lui Shing last December 6 at a trial before Mr. Justice J. R. Gregg. Both were sentenced to death by the Trial Judge.
