A student, 19, has been denied bail after she pleaded not guilty to a count of possession of instruments fit for unlawful purposes at the West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts today.

She is accused of carrying a hammer, folding knife, screw driver, spanner, alcohol, lighter and a stack of newspaper on 512 Fuk Wing Street in Cheung Sha Wan on November 12. She was originally charged with carrying offensive weapons, but the prosecution amended the charge today.

The case was adjourned until February 6 for pre-trial hearing.
