Having walked down the steps and having reached the pavement, a man ran up to him from behind and threw a liquid from a paper cup onto his face. He felt a burning sensation. Whilst he was wiping the substance from his face, a second man ran up from behind and also threw liquid over him, most of which landed on his jacket.[1] He estimated that there was a gap of around 10 to 20 seconds between the first and second attacks[2]. He did not see the faces of the two attackers[3].

12. Billy Kay testified that he had been recruited in the middle of October 2009 by Lai Kwok Leung for a promised reward of $30,000 to carry out an attack on a person connected with a court case. Although at first he was told that the intended target was a woman, later he was told that the intended target was an expatriate man. On 20 October 2009, he went to the 9th floor of the District Court, where he saw Mr Mitchell conducting the trial of Kong Hon Yui. During a break in the proceedings, the latter came up to him and urged him to act quickly, otherwise he would go to jail. Subsequently, he decided not to carry out the attack himself, but contacted Jacky Ma who agreed to find a replacement attacker.
