Senior Inspector Law Pui-Kei of the Identification Bureau testified that 111 fingerprint impressions were collected in the case, that Hong Kong fingerprint identification generally requires at least 12 matching minutiae points to confirm a match to the same person, and that touching objects while wearing gloves generally does not leave fingerprints. The defence questioned whether multiple officers searching the premises during the first police entry may have contaminated the evidence; the officer responsible for evidence collection reiterated that procedures were followed. The case centres on the fingerprint identification results for the relevant evidence in the Lung Mei Village flat and the evidence-collection procedures.
