Editing Murder of Luk Chi-wai (section)

== Murder ==
On the night of May 14<sup>th</sup>, 1997, the gang lured Luk to Chan's estate. After Luk arrived the gang locked him up and began to torture him. Luk was beaten and kicked by the defendants in turn, beaten with weapons such as iron pipes and folding chairs, and forced to eat cigarette butts. Luk also had his head slammed against the wall, floor and stools. After Luk lost consciousness, the gang drenched him in freezing water to wake up him and continue the torture.

After the gang found out Luk was dead, the gang attempted to rescue him but was unsuccessful. The 17-year-old gang leader Fu Hin-chun (傅顯進) threatened the gang and Chan, who was also in the flat unit and witnessed the murder, to not alert the police. In the early mornings of the same day, the gang transported Luk's body in a cardboard box to the block 32 of the residential estate, a vacant building under demolition. The gang poured sulphuric acid onto Luk's on the body to make it more difficult to identify, and set his corpse on fire. They returned to the scene a few hours later and found that the body wasn't completely burnt so the body was set on fire again. The ashes of Luk were packed in garbage plastic bags and dumped at the garbage station. The ashes were never retrieved as the police believed that Luk's ashes had been transported to landfill.
