Suspects
Jonaris Badlishah
In the early morning hours of 20 April 1998, in Marina South, Central, Singapore, a 23-year-old Malaysian named Jonaris Badlishah, who was the nephew of the Sultan of Kedah, brutally murdered 42-year-old beautician Sally Poh Bee Eng in order to rob her of her Rolex watch, which he wanted to give to his girlfriend as a birthday present. He was said to have used a hammer to hit her on the head more than ten times before robbing her, leading to Poh to die from her skull fractures. Following police investigations, Jonaris was arrested three days later and charged with murder.
In his trial, Jonaris pled the murder charge with a defence of diminished responsibility, claiming that he was depressed, intoxicated with drugs and heard voices telling him to kill the victim. The psychiatric experts from the prosecution, however, assessed him and found him to be normal and not suffering from any abnormality of the mind when he killed Poh. Hence, Jonaris was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in December 1998. He was hanged in 1999 after losing his appeal.
