上水清潔工遭磚擲斃案 官指謀殺罪證據不足 改控兩被告誤殺
The High Court continued the trial of two young men over the 2019 case in which a cleaner died after being struck by a thrown brick. They had earlier been charged with riot and murder. Judge To Lai-ping said the evidence was insufficient to charge the two with murder, and prosecutors immediately amended the charges to manslaughter.
