The victim had started her shift as a singer at a Thai disco at 9pm on Aug 6, 2018, the day before the incident. The pair left the disco together at about 3am on Aug 7, 2018, when the victim ended work. She said Yeo had asked her out for supper and she agreed as she wanted to keep him as a customer.
Yeo claimed during the trial that the victim had made false allegations against him in order to stay in Singapore and continue working during the ongoing investigation.
