Opium Den Door Keeper Before Full Court
A door-keeper of an opium den, Chan Hing, 40, who was found guilty of the murder of Or Kam-shing, a customer of the divan and sentenced to death appealed against his conviction before the Full Court this morning.
The case for the Crown at the trial was that he murdered Or as he lay in a hunk in the divan in Lung Chun Road, Kowloon City, in the early hours of February 27, by inflicting over 60 wounds on his head, face and arms with a hammer.
