Prison attack over bad hair day
An image-conscious prisoner stabbed his cellmate more than 20 times for cutting his hair badly then joking about it, a Hong Kong newspaper reported today.
Chan Ka-chun, 27, pleaded guilty to wounding with intent for using a pair of lawn trimmers to stab Fung Shing-hong in the head, back and hands to retaliate for the haircut he had a few hours earlier, according to the South China Morning Post.
Chan entered his plea in the District Court and Judge Peter Line delayed sentencing pending psychiatric reports.
Fung suffered wounds to his neck, left eyebrow, left forearm and right wrist, but has since recovered and been released from prison, the report said.
