Murder case visit to estate

Thirteen teenagers accused of torturing a 15-year-old schoolboy to death will travel to the scene of their alleged crime today.

The judge, jury, barristers and solicitors in the Court of First Instance trial will also take part in the visit to the Sau Mau Ping Estate in Kowloon.

Mr Justice Michael Wong Kin-chow told the jurors yesterday they could take with them a plan of the route intended to be followed once they are at the estate.

They can also carry with them photographs of the area provided by the prosecution.

Ten boys and three girls aged 16 to 19 deny murdering Luk Chi-wai in a room on the estate.

The prosecution say he was tortured for nearly three hours until he died.
