SINGAPORE: A man accused of murdering his 31-year-old lover in 2016 broke down on the stand on Tuesday while recounting the events that led up to the alleged killing.
While on the way to The Westin Singapore where they were supposed to meet up with his supervisor Adeline Toh to talk about how busy work was, Ms Cui changed her mind and said she did not want to meet Ms Toh, Khoo said. He began shaking when asked what he realised at that point in time, and the judge asked the defence lawyer if Khoo needed a 10-minute break, which was granted.He confirmed that he realised that his hand was on her neck only after Ms Cui stopped moving.
He took the body to Lim Chu Kang Lane 8, where he burnt it. After this, he took the ashes and scattered them into the sea, he said. If the prosecution's theory that it was a pre-meditated murder"committed in cold blood" were true, the defence said, then it was"a very clumsily executed one" on the basis of the evidence so far.
