### 案件基本資料 - 案件名稱：香港特別行政區 訴 戚愷峯 - 法院：區域法院 (DC) - 法官：譚思樂 - 判決日期：2022年4月21日 ### 案情摘要 第二被告人戚愷峯受僱於他人，於2020年7月6日凌晨與另外兩名男子在尖沙咀金馬倫道伏擊黃先生。黃先生當時準備上班，被襲擊者以玻璃樽擊中頭部並被踢踹約30秒，導致頭皮裂傷、血腫及左手掌骨骨折。第二被告人案發前四天剛從赤柱監獄獲釋，並在案後承認收受1,000港元報酬。 ### 核心法律爭議 本案核心 legal issue 在於如何對一項違反《侵害人身罪條例》第17(a)條的「有意圖而傷人」罪行進行量刑。辯方請求輕判，主張受害人傷勢非極嚴重且案發時行人不多；控方則強調此為有預謀的買兇傷人，具有高度 culpability。 ### 判決理由 法官引用 HKSAR v Chan Chun Tat 的原則，分析 s 17 罪行的 gravity 及 offender 的 culpability 時，需考慮預謀程度、動機、是否夥同犯罪、武器類型及對受害人的影響。法官認為本案屬「買兇傷人」及「以多欺少」，且在公眾地方持械襲擊，需透過 deterrence 及 denunciation 予以嚴懲。此外，被告在出獄四天後即再犯，顯示缺乏悔意。 ### 引用案例與條文 HKSAR v Chan Chun Tat [2013] 6 HKC 225：法官引用其關於 s 17 罪行量刑因素的分析，特別是針對 contract attacks 需要更高程度的 deterrence。 ### 裁決與命令 第二被告人承認罪名。法官將量刑基準定為四年半監禁，因適時認罪獲三分一扣減，最終判處監禁三年。 ### 判決啟示 本案強調「買兇傷人」（contract attacks）在量刑時會被視為嚴重加重因素，且在剛出獄即再犯的情況下，法庭較難接納其改過自新的輕判請求。 --- ### 免責聲明 本摘要由人工智能自動生成，內容可能存在錯誤或遺漏，僅供參考，不構成法律意見。如需法律建議，請諮詢合資格律師。### Case Details - Case Name: HKSAR v Chik Hoi Fung - Court: District Court (DC) - Judge: Tam Sze Lok - Date of Judgment: 21 April 2022 ### Factual Background The second defendant, Chik Hoi Fung, was hired for HK$1,000 to assault Mr. Wong in Tsim Sha Tsui on 6 July 2020. Along with two others, the defendant ambushed the victim, who was struck in the head with a glass bottle and kicked for approximately 30 seconds. The victim suffered scalp lacerations, hematomas, and a fractured metacarpal bone. The defendant had been released from prison only four days prior to the attack. ### Key Legal Issues The primary legal issue was the determination of an appropriate sentence for 'wounding with intent' under s 17(a) of the Offences Against the Person Ordinance. The defense sought a lenient sentence based on the victim's non-permanent injuries, while the court focused on the premeditated nature of the contract attack. ### Ratio Decidendi The judge applied principles from HKSAR v Chan Chun Tat, assessing gravity based on premeditation, motivation, group involvement, and weapon type. The court found high culpability due to the 'contract' nature of the attack, the use of a weapon against an unarmed victim in public, and the defendant's recidivism (offending four days after release), necessitating strong deterrence and denunciation. ### Key Precedents & Statutes HKSAR v Chan Chun Tat [2013] 6 HKC 225: Used to identify factors for determining the gravity of s 17 offences and the need for greater deterrence in contract attacks. ### Decision & Orders The defendant pleaded guilty. The judge set a sentencing starting point of four and a half years' imprisonment. After a one-third reduction for the timely plea, the defendant was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. ### Key Takeaways The judgment underscores that contract attacks and offending shortly after release from custody significantly aggravate the sentence, outweighing claims of limited public impact or lack of permanent injury. --- ### Disclaimer This summary is AI-generated and may contain errors or omissions.
