SINGAPORE - Allen Vincent Hui Kim Seng's engagement of 'Camorra Hitmen' to murder a stranger was"not only cold-blooded, but a highly sophisticated act which involved significant planning and premeditation," said the prosecution during the 47-year-old's sentencing hearing on Monday .
He began dating the woman on 22 April 2016 after becoming her colleague in January that year. The woman ended the relationship in February last year after realising that Hui did not intend to leave his wife. Hui, a risk management executive, had earlier pleaded guilty to one count of abetting murder by instigation. One count of criminal intimidation was considered for his sentencing.
Hui was prescribed anti-depressants then. His visit to the doctor was genuine, not a"flimsy excuse to explain his wrongful conduct", said Lee, pointing out that Hui had visited the doctor before looking for hitmen. Hui then wavered in his decision to kill Tan. He would have likely cancelled the hit on Tan of his own volition before 22 May, said the lawyer.The lawyer pointed to a 27 July 2018 report in The Times which linked Hui, as"a Singaporean businessman" to a fake hire-a-hitman website which cheats users of their bitcoin until they realise that they are being conned.
After a conversation with the woman on 4 May, Hui realised she was in a relationship with Tan and decided to hire a hitman to"remove him" from the woman's life, said the prosecution.
So all you're asking for is 5 years?!!! Cmon, if he hadn't been caught, someone WOULD be dead. mhasingapore
