Liu Yueteng pleaded guilty to four counts of attempted murder in relation to a random knife attack at Garden Hill in Sham Shui Po.A university student who was studying in mainland China has admitted that he tried to kill four women in Hong Kong more than two years ago in the hope of getting a death sentence after multiple failed suicide attempts.
Liu was a fourth year student at a mainland tertiary institution when he entered Hong Kong in 2019 with a two-way permit on October 1 – a day marked by official celebrations of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and widespread unrest in the city sparked by a now-withdrawn extradition bill.
He first approached Lam King-king, 57 at the time, stabbing the woman in the neck and back with a fruit knife at around 10.10am after standing idle next to her for almost an hour. The student admitted he was the assailant in two subsequent interviews. He said he had planned his attack hoping to get the death penalty on the mainland, as he had failed to take his own life previously.
