He was the only armed member of the group during the fight.
SINGAPORE - A 32-year-old man, who was holding a karambit knife when he punched another man at Orchard Towers in 2019, has been sentenced to life imprisonment and 12 strokes of the cane for murder.
The judge rejected defence arguments that there was sufficient doubt over whether Tan was the one who had inflicted the fatal stab wound on the victim’s neck. The defence had also argued that Mr Satheesh suffered eight wounds despite Tan punching him three times. The judge was not satisfied that Tan’s adjustment disorder and alcohol-use disorder had impaired his mental responsibility, noting that there was no contributory link between the conditions and his offence.
On July 2, 2019, Tan and his friends had gone to the Naughty Girl Club in Orchard Towers at about 5.25am. In the ensuing fight, Tan punched Mr Satheesh in the face three times while holding the knife. Tan’s companions punched and kicked the victim before they fled the scene.
