That was how a laundry shop manager denied he was having an affair with a woman he is accused of murdering after strangling her in his wife's car, then burning her body.

The prosecution's case is that Khoo wanted to silence the Chinese national, who had told her parents and colleagues they were lovers, to stop her from exposing him for cheating her of $20,000 to purportedly invest in gold. Khoo claimed he was trying to help Ms Cui"according to scripture" - he bought her presents, a birthday cake and flowers."When people come to me for help, I don't say 'no'," he told the psychiatrist.

Giving an account of the killing to the psychiatrist, Khoo said he picked up Ms Cui at Joo Koon MRT station in his wife's car and drove to Gardens by the Bay, where he parked along the road to talk to her, but she began cursing his family.A struggle ensued after Ms Cui hit his forearm, Khoo said, and he grabbed her neck and pushed her away. Khoo said the woman stopped moving but he did not dare resuscitate her.
