A BUMP in the dark in a karaoke lounge was followed by an attack by about 20 men on three others which left one dead and two seriously injured, the High Court heard yesterday.
On trial before Mr Justice Duffy and a jury are transport worker So Tai-ki, 29, and construction site worker So Lap-kay, 24, who have pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder and two counts of wounding with intent.
The dead man was transport worker Mr Li Wang-yuen, 29. Injured were Mr Ip Sau-ki, 35, and Mr Lee Fook-nin, 34.
Senior assistant Crown prosecutor Mr Samuel Leung said in his opening address that six men went to Gerlin Karaoke in Tai Po on March 4 last year for a night out.
So Tai-ki later entered and joined a number of men at another table.
Mr Lee had gone to the toilet and bumped into someone at that table on his return.
He allegedly swore before calling for the bill and he and his friends then went out to the car park.
