Driver in fatal Hong Kong bus crash remanded in custody as prosecution gets eight more weeks to investigate
Government lawyers at Fanling Court reveal Chan Ho-ming could face more serious charges
Prosecutors at Fanling Court, who were granted eight more weeks for investigation, revealed Chan Ho-ming could face more serious charges than the current one of causing death by dangerous driving, pending legal advice.
They still intend to interview 37 more passengers and other eyewitnesses – on top of the 28 already spoken to. They are also waiting on analysis of a black box recorder which logs technical details during a journey, examination of the wreckage and the 19 autopsy reports.
Chan, 30, declared his occupation as a cook and appeared tired as he emerged from court under security.
Pro-democracy activist Lui Yuk-lin shouted, upon seeing him: “Rubbish, rubbish! You’ve harmed those people.”
