The court refused to depart from Lai Shui Yin and held that for GNM in Hong Kong the prosecution must prove not only the objective elements derived from Adomako but also that the defendant was subjectively aware (had a culpable state of mind) of the obvious and serious risk of death; CA decisions cited did not decide the specific mens rea point and do not overturn Lai Shui Yin.
