Edmund Peter Anthony, 34 illegally restrain ankles and wrists with neckties and gagged her with a piece of cloth, a prostitute from Orchard towers.
Result unknown. If it's a Singaporean do you think the sentence melted is that lenient ?
Anywhere Singapore will be punished big-time. Singapore did not treat it's guests who come here with respect and justice whether she a prostitute or not.
She is on a social pass ! She is a tourist and guest of Singapore ! You did not protect her and you pay the price !
Screw you Singapore Courts, police and army !

Prostitute's fall: misadventure
WHEN Edmund Peter Anthony, 34, took a prostitute home last October, all he could think about was having a good time, but the the assistant restaurant manager's night ended in the death of a woman and a visit from the police.
While they were having sex, Anthony felt a sudden urge to ease himself so he gestured to her to wait while he went to the toilet.
To ensure that she did not flee his flat, he bound her ankles and wrists with neckties and gagged her with a piece of cloth.
But when he returned to his bedroom minutes later, the 27-year-old Thai national was nowhere in sight.
Panicked, the assistant restaurant manager looked outside the open window and spotted her crouched on the parapet more than an arm's length away.
He called out to her to climb back in but it was too late.
She suddenly lost her footing and fell nine storeys to her death, clad in a black tank top and a pair of shorts.
On Wednesday, State Coroner Victor Yeo ruled a verdict of misadventure into the death of Madam Jintana Sae Ueng in the early morning of Oct 15.
She had entered Singapore on a social visit pass about two weeks before her death.
Mr Yeo said it was likely that Madam Ueng had climbed out of the window to put herself out of harm's way before Anthony returned.
He added: 'She suddenly panicked and became so frightened that she unthinkably climbed out of the open window. The evidence does not suggest that she wanted to end her life.'
Police do not suspect any foul play.
The court heard that Anthony had gone to Orchard Road late on Oct 14 looking for a prostitute after having a few drinks with friends in Chinatown.
He spotted Madam Ueng outside the Orchard Hotel and chatted her up. She accepted his offer of $80 in exchange for oral sex and they walked off to a dark spot along the stretch of Nassim Road.
But while in the act, ants bit them and Anthony suggested that they take a taxi back to his flat at Block 372 Clementi Avenue 4.
When they got there, Anthony told her to remove her high heels and to remain quiet so as not to wake up his parents and sister who were already asleep.
Once in his bedroom, one thing led to another and they started having sex.
But when Anthony gestured that he urgently needed to visit the toilet, Madam Ueng refused to stop, wanting to finish the transaction as fast as possible.
She had made plans to meet her Thai construction worker-boyfriend for supper about half an hour later, the court heard.
Fearing that Madam Ueng would either flee or steal things from his house, he grabbed a necktie from a pile of clothes and bound her wrists behind her back as she lay face-down.
He got hold of another necktie and tied her ankles together before gagging her with a piece of cloth, to prevent her from screaming. She struggled momentarily but stopped resisting when Anthony straightened her legs.
Anthony, who was present at an earlier hearing as a witness, was seen to be reserved and nervous when giving his testimony.
He had told the court: 'At that time, all I could think of was going to the toilet and coming back to untie her.'
But when he returned about 10 minutes later, she was nowhere in sight. He noticed the open window and looked out to find her, free from the restraints, crouching on the parapet.
'I had the impression she was trying to climb down to the lower level,' he added.
Moments later, she lost her footing and fell to her death.
Anthony was so shaken that he cried hysterically and called the police. He was later taken to the National University Hospital where he suffered from shock.
Mr Yeo said: 'What was clear from the evidence was that the deceased did not agree to being bound or gagged.'
An autopsy report showed no external marks on Madam Ueng's wrists or ankles but said that it could be due to the soft fabric ties are generally made from.
Mr Yeo also added that it was also possible that the restraints were not tightly applied.
Anthony's lawyer Mr Christopher Bridges told The Straits Times: 'My client is truly sorry for the tragic loss to the deceased's family. He has instructed me to offer a compensation to her next-of-kin.'
