Two men had been charged with murder in the death of a 70-year-old cleaner during the months-long social unrest last year, Hong Kong police said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Senior Superintendent Chan Tin-chu of the New Territories North Regional Crime Headquarters said at the press conference that on Nov 13, 2019, cleaner Luo Changqing was attacked and hit in the head by hard objects outside the North District Town Hall in Sheung Shui. Luo died the following day of the serious wounds.

The police so far have arrested three males and three females aged between 15 and 18. Two of the three males are aged 16 and 17 respectively. They were charged Wednesday with murder, wounding with intent and riots and taken to a court in Tuen Mun for trial.

Chan Tin-Chu did not rule out more arrests in the case, saying anyone who violates the law would be brought to justice.
