TWO APPEALS AGAINST MURDER CONVICTIONS

Two men under a death sentence for the murder of a 60-year-old woman in the course of a robbery at 73 Nga Tsin Wai Road on November 23 last year, appealed against their conviction before the Full Court comprising the Acting Chief Justice, Mr Justice T. J. Gould, and the Puisne Judge, Mr Justice J. R. Gregg, this morning.

The appellants, Lung Yee-hing, alias Lung Tsai, 22, and Kam Yun-chuen, 28, were the only two of four accused who were convicted on April 1, of the murder of Tam Luk-sum. The remaining two accused, a man and an amal employed in the house where the offence took place were found not guilty by a Jury.
