Project manager in court over workers’ deaths

A project manager appeared in court on Saturday charged with the manslaughter of two workers who died in an apparent gas poisoning accident last weekend.

The 40-year-old man, who works for the main contractor, did not enter a plea during the hearing at the Tuen Mun Magistrates’ Court.
