2 prisoners found guilty of helping correctional officer attack fellow inmate

Two prisoners, Bosco Lee and Brian Lam Shing-wai, have been found guilty in a Hong Kong court of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The convictions stem from their involvement in a brutal assault on a fellow inmate at Pik Uk Prison on December 26, 2023. The victim sustained severe injuries after a stick was repeatedly thrust into his rectum. The primary attacker in the incident was Tam Lik-chung, a former assistant correctional officer, who had previously pleaded guilty to the same offense. The District Court delivered its verdict on Wednesday.
