Three Men Sentenced for Planned Bombing in Tuen Mun

On July 30th, 2024, three individuals were handed prison sentences ranging from 8 years and 4 months to 12 years for planning a bombing attack on a police checkpoint in late 2019. The trio had intended to test a homemade remote-controlled explosive device, which they planned to place at a roadblock or throw into a police station.

The attempted attack took place on a hillside in Siu Lang Shui Road, Tuen Mun, but the test of the device ended in failure. The men were apprehended by a police officer as they were leaving the scene.


The 32-year-old chef, identified as the mastermind, was found guilty after standing trial. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The other two defendants, Chui Tin-lok (32, high school lab technician) and Ho Kin-chung (45, registered electrical engineer), pleaded guilty and received sentences of 8 years and 7 months, and 8 years and 4 months respectively.


The judge described the case as an "act of war against law enforcement officers" and characterized the defendants' actions as "extremely heinous." The timing of the planned attack, during a period of social unrest in late 2019, was seen as exacerbating the potential impact.


The judge emphasized that the three men had meticulously planned their actions, with each playing a specific role based on their respective professions. Kwan Kai-yiu, as the mastermind, coordinated the operation and had greater culpability, leading to his longer sentence.


Overall, the verdicts and sentences handed down reflect the severity of the defendants' crimes and the threat they posed to public safety and order.


三男子因策劃轟炸及測試失敗裝置於屯門被判囚8年4個月至12年


2024年7月30日 - 三名男子因2019年年底策劃在警察路障進行轟炸攻擊而被判處囚刑,刑期由8年4個月至12年不等。這三人原本計劃測試一枚自製的遙控爆炸裝置,並打算將之放置在路障或投擲至警局。


然而,他們在屯門小瀨樹路山坡上進行測試時,裝置測試失敗。他們離開現場時被一名警員逮捕。


被指為主腦的32歲廚師在審訊後被裁定罪名成立,今日被判12年徒刑。另外兩名被告崔天樂(32歲,中學化驗室技術員)及何健聰(45歲,註冊電機工程師)則認罪,分別被判8年7個月及8年4個月。


法官將案件描述為「對執法人員的宣戰」,並認為被告的行為「極為可惡」。在2019年社會動蕩期間策劃是進一步加重其潛在影響。


法官強調,三名被告均有細心計劃,各司其職,其中主腦關昆基佑應負更大責任,因此獲判較重刑期。


總的來說,判決反映了被告罪行的嚴重性,以及他們對公共安全和秩序構成的威脅。
