On 28 March 1983, 28-year-old housewife Soh Lee Lee (苏莉莉 Sū Lìlì) and her two young children, three-year-old Jeremy Yeong Yin Kit (杨英杰 Yáng Yīngjíe) and two-year-old Joyce Yeong Pei Ling (杨佩玲 Yáng Peìlíng) were brutally murdered inside their flat at Ang Mo Kio, and some of their possessions were also stolen from the flat. The police investigated the case and within a month, they managed to arrest two suspects, Lim Beng Hai (林明海 Lín Mínghăi or 林炳海 Lín Bĭnghǎi) and Michael Tan Teow (陈朝 Chén Cháo), for the killings. One of them, Tan, was Soh's tenant.[1]
During the trial, both men, who were drug addicts and had committed the murders due to the desperate need for money to procure more drugs, blamed each other for the killings and put up defences that there was no intention to kill but to rob and additionally, to rape the adult victim Soh. However, the judges deemed that both men were responsible for the murders, and thus they were found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in April 1985. Five years after the trial, Tan committed suicide while on death row while Lim alone was hung at the gallows for the murders.[2]
