A SECOND police officer plotted with triad big brothers to trick a man into becoming a fall guy for a murder, a High Court jury heard yesterday.
But Constable Chan Wai-yip, like Sergeant Tang Wai-ming the previous day, repeatedly denied taking part in a scheme to ensnare Chan Ka-kui.
Constable Chan and Sergeant Tang, who were present when two triads gave the defendant to the police, worked together to ensure their stories did not vary, the court heard.
Defendant Chan Ka-kui denies murdering drug addict Lo Kwai-chun, 35, on March 22.
The court heard that the defendant agreed to a deal after being convinced he would most likely be charged with assault, not murder, and his mother would be paid $5,000 a month while he was in jail.
The defence accused Constable Chan and Sergeant Tang of writing identical times in notes describing the three hours leading up to the time Chan arrived at Yuen Long police station.
Instead of driving Chan to the police station, the defence earlier suggested that Sergeant Tang drove Chan home and sat outside in his car for 30 minutes while Chan had a bath and said goodbye to his mother.
