SINGAPORE: The Court of Appeal on Wednesday (Oct 28) dismissed an appeal by a man who was sentenced to life imprisonment in February for murdering ...

for murdering a woman he considered his girlfriend.

After killing her, he stripped her, took nude photos of her and tried to have sex with her corpse, before fleeing to Malaysia where he was later arrested and sent back to Singapore.Defence lawyer Chooi Jing Yen mounted the appeal against the murder conviction with one contention – that the trial judge was wrong to dismiss the defence of grave and sudden provocation.

He added that Boh considered the victim his girlfriend, and had asked her to marry him once, to which she did not reply. Because of this, Boh thought he had"some rights", but the victim never bestowed any intimacy on him, and he never asked her if she could be his girlfriend exclusively. "In his long statement, he admitted that he wanted to have sexual intercourse with the victim and had thought of raping her if she refused," said the judge."His violent actions towards her even before she told him of her relationship with her ex-boyfriend bore up his true intentions. He was more frustrated and agitated by the fact that he had not had sex with her after having spent time and money on her over several years than by anything she said to him.
