A killer who claimed he acted in self-defence was yesterday convicted of robbing and murdering a security guard.

 Leung Hing-fat, 56, was found in a pool of blood early on November 5, his wallet missing and his ID card on the ground nearby.

 He died of head injuries three days later.

  Illegal immigrant Wang Yi-le, 23, was arrested after officers saw him behaving suspiciously in Yau Ma Tei.

 The mainlander told police he struck the deaf-mute watchman in self-defence, and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

  He told the Court of First Instance he went to the Peel Street, Central, site in search of work and asked Leung if he could rest at the property.

  Leung refused, tried to eject him and was said to have scratched his face and attacked him with a piece of wood.

  Wang said he then picked up a block and hit him. The blow smashed Leung's skull.

  Mr Justice Mohammed Saied adjourned sentencing until today.
