A construction worker, 50, who was charged with a count of murder for killing an 18-year-old man with three other men in North Point in 1993, was brought to the Eastern Magistrates' Courts today. On June 26, 1993, four men, aged between 18 and 23, disputed with an 18-year-old man in an entertainment venue on Wharf Road and they attacked the 18-year-old man with knives afterwards. The 18-year-old man was sent to hospital and later certified dead. Two returned to Hong Kong from the mainland on August 3, 1993, and were arrested by police on the same day. One man was convicted of manslaughter by the High Court in 1994 and was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment.
