SINGAPORE - He was married, an undischarged bankrupt and the manager at a laundry outlet but told a woman 17 years his junior that he was single and the heir of the family laundry business.Their rocky relationship came to a grisly end when Khoo strangled Cui while they were in his car at Gardens by the Bay.
However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Wen Hsien, laying out the prosecution's case, painted a picture of Khoo as a serial swindler who cheated several woman of their money by asking them to invest in his business. In allowing the testimony of these witnesses, Judicial Commissioner Audrey Lim noted that there was no eyewitness to the killing and the case rested on Khoo's account of events and circumstantial evidence.
In July 2016, Khoo"returned" the money by asking a former lover, a Chinese national, to remit $10,000 to the bank account of Ms Cui's father.Meanwhile, Khoo's wife confronted him for cheating on her, after Ms Cui sent her a Facebook message to stay away from him. Khoo said he decided to burn her body and bought significant quantities of charcoal and kerosene from two shops in Kranji Road, said the DPP.
