However, he disrupted court proceedings and disputed many details of the incidents, which happened at about 3.30am on Sept 1, 2019.Mr Jonathan Wong told the court that the original capital murder charge was reduced on the condition that Pak pleads guilty, but his client now wanted the death sentence to be imposed.
After repeated interjections, the judge told him: "You are not in a coffee shop, you are in a courtroom. You will behave with the proper decorum." From 2004, the couple lived in a four-room flat with three bedrooms, two of which were larger in size.Of the two larger rooms, one was occupied by Madam Lim while the other was reserved for their elder daughter and elder son, who were based abroad, when they returned to Singapore.
The next day, it was agreed that Pak could stay in the room as long as he moved back to the smallest room before Sept 1, 2019, when the elder son was expected to return.
