'''Luk Chi-wai''' (陸志偉; 1981 – May 14^th, 1997) was a member of Hong Kong youngster gang. The 16-year-old victim was beaten to death by 14 teenagers for several hours after being seen as a traitor to the gang. The 14 defendants, who were all under 18 at the time, lured Luk to their hideout, locked him up and tortured him. After the gang found out Luk was dead, they dragged him to the garbage room nearby and burnt his corpse.

A week after Luk's death, Chan went to the hospital to seek medical treatment. The police stationed in the hospital found that his injuries were suspicious and started an investigation. Shortly later, all 14 culprits were arrested by the police.

Trial was held from early 1998 to January 1999. 6 of the 14 defendants were found guilty of murder. Among the 6, Hui Chi-wai, Ng Ming-chun, Chan Tak-ming and Fu Hin-chun were sentenced to life imprisonment. Mak Ka-ho left the scene early at the time of crime was did not participate in beating up the victim after he lost consciousness; and Wong Kam-bo was only 14 years old at the time of the crime. The two were given a discretionary waiver of life imprisonment and commuted their sentences to 26 years and 23 years respectively.
