On 15 June 2000, 65-year-old part-time taxi driver Ong Huay Dee (翁伙俤 Wēng Huŏdì)^[a] was murdered by a passenger while he was driving along Pasir Ris in Singapore. Ong's passenger and killer, 25-year-old Thai national Khwan-On Natthaphon^[b], was arrested and charged for the murder. Even though Khwan-On raised a defence of diminished responsibility and also stated he never intended to kill Ong, the trial court nonetheless rejected his defences and regarded him as a "cold-blooded murderer" for having intentionally caused the fatal head injuries on Ong. Hence, Khwan-On was found guilty of murdering Ong and sentenced to death in August 2001, and after losing his appeal, Khwan-On was hanged on 27 September 2002.^[1]
