載着兩名被告囚車離開法院時，數十名支持者舉起「五大訴求缺一不可」手勢並喊叫口號，其間有人拍打囚車，有人更一度攔在囚車前。
食環署70歲外判清潔工疑於去年11月衝突事件中遭磚頭擲斃，另有61歲男子遇襲左眼受傷。警方事後拘捕6人，事隔5個月後落案起訴兩少年，共控以3項謀殺、有意圖而傷人及暴動罪名，昨被解屯門裁判法院提堂。兩少年毋須答辯，案件押後至6月1日在東區裁判法院作交付高院審訊的程序，其間須還押懲教署看管。
兩被告依次為無業劉子龍（17歲）和學生陳彥廷（16歲），據了解兩人相識，曾為同學。3項控罪指出，兩人2019年11月13日在上水龍運街2號北區大會堂外連同其他身分不詳者謀殺羅長清，並於同日同地連同其他身分不詳者意圖使男子X受嚴重傷害而非法及惡意傷害，以及參與暴動。
傷者認出首被告 商場CCTV尋見兩人
據了解，案發時有兩批人在北區大會堂外聚集，一方放置磚頭，另一方清理磚頭，最終雙方衝突，互擲磚頭及鐵通等物品。70歲的死者和61歲的X在衝突中同告受傷，X並非警員。X在事件中左眼虹膜撕裂，眼內出血，右手、右膝和雙腳均有擦損。
據悉，X在警方認人手續認出首被告，警方翻查附近閉路電視片段後亦發現兩被告曾在附近商場。兩名被告去年12月中被捕，索取法律意見後至昨午預約並落案起訴。
傷者准匿名 數十人庭外聲援被告
控方在庭上表示考慮到案件性質，為免不必要騷擾，申請將有意圖而傷人控罪的受害人以X匿名，獲裁判官接納。辯方無保釋申請，但首被告的代表律師表示，不排除稍後會到高院申請保釋。
兩被告昨由乘坐囚車離開法院時，數十人在法院停車場外大喊口號，有支持者更一度攔在車前。
【案件編號：TMCC531/20】
評：為何傷者准匿名？控方：為免不必要騷擾。
只有傷者有免不必要騷擾權，被告就不會有？這邏輯很荒謬。
控方把匿名常態化，是否為很多案件的警察匿名製造平衡？
Hong Kong teens charged with murder over protest death

Hong Kong police charged on Wednesday two teenagers with murder over the death of an elderly man in a clash between rival protesters during the city's political unrest last year.
Luo Chang-qing died in November when pro-democracy supporters and government loyalists started hurling bricks at each other in the border town of Sheung Shui.
The fight was one of dozens that broke out between ideological opponents during the seven straight months of pro-democracy protests that upended the city.
Luo, 70, died from a blow to the head.
Local media reported at the time that he had been filming a fight between the two sides on his mobile phone.
On Wednesday police said they had charged two boys, aged 16 and 17, for his murder.
"The two were jointly charged with murder, wounding with intent and rioting," a police spokesman told reporters.
Even though they are minors, the teens face up to life in prison if convicted.
Hong Kong's protests were sparked by an attempt to allow extradition to China's opaque justice system but soon morphed into a popular revolt against Beijing's rule.
Millions of people took to the streets to protest for greater democratic rights and the demonstrations had often ended with violent clashes between protesters and police.
Fights often broke out between protesters and groups of government loyalists, with beatings and street brawls common.
More than 7,800 people have been arrested -- nearly 40 percent of them were students.
