Yishun death: Man found guilty of assaulting victim, stepfather convicted of abetting offender

SINGAPORE - A youth and his stepfather decided to take matters into their own hands after a 26-year-old man repeatedly visited their flat, and continued doing so even after the family lodged 56 police reports against him.

On Monday after a trial, District Judge Tan Jen Tse found Tay guilty of voluntarily causing grievous hurt to Mr Rodriguez.Before he died, Mr Rodriguez attended 10 counselling sessions at the Centre of Psychotherapy and Dr Nisha Rani found that he was possibly suffering from erotomania - an obsession and a belief that somebody loves the afflicted person.

A mediation judge then told him stop visiting Tay. Despite this, Mr Rodriguez continued visiting the Yishun flat, the court heard. "At this juncture, Ryan came out of the unit and the deceased started to run away. Ryan chased the deceased down the corridor and up the staircase at lift landing B." Tay rained punches on Mr Rodriguez's head before smashing it onto the ground, causing a"crack" sound and the older man's nose started to bleed.The pair asked them to call the police and Lim also asked for a rope to tie up Mr Rodriguez.One of them, Mr Lim Hock Piou, tied Mr Rodriguez's ankles, while Lim held on to Mr Rodriguez legs. Tay, meanwhile, continued to press his knee against Mr Rodriguez's back.
