Prosecutors at the High Court revealed that a team of five men had allegedly planned a foiled attempt to kill Hong Kong police with explosives during the 2019 social unrest. The group, led by mastermind Ng Chi-hung, had already devised a violent plan against police in July 2019. They later teamed up with the “Dragon Slaying Brigade” to execute a larger conspiracy, which involved planting two bombs in Wan Chai on December 8, 2019.
Two members of Ng’s team, David Su and Eddie Pang Kwan-ho, admitted guilt and provided testimony, while the remaining two maintained their innocence. The prosecution outlined how the brigade joined forces with Ng’s team to orchestrate the attack. The group had acquired chemicals for bomb-making, conducted tests in a suburban area, and even imported guns for their nefarious plans.
The trial is ongoing, with the prosecution set to continue its case on Monday. The revelations shed light on a chilling plot to cause chaos and harm in the city, underscoring the severity of the charges against the accused individuals.
