Re: Brother Golden Dragon, any updates on Kovan murder?

Take so long to process an open-and-shut case of murder, of course covering up things lah. Even if you were to factor in the time taken for psychiatric assessment, it shouldn't have taken this long. Murder happened when? Almost two fucking years ago. :rolleyes:

This issue involved a few big dogs at the top.
Hence it's gonna be a low profile and act blur case.

Re: Brother Golden Dragon, any updates on Kovan murder?

This guy will be released very soon because SPF has no evidence to nail him.
A hearing to determine if there was sufficient evidence for the Kovan double-murder case to proceed to trial failed to reach a conclusion yesterday and was adjourned to a later date.

Policeman Iskandar Rahmat, 36, stands accused of murdering car workshop owner Tan Boon Sin, 67, and his son Tan Chee Heong, 42, at a terrace house on Hillside Drive on July 10, 2013.

Wearing black-rimmed spectacles and looking visibly thinner than when he was arrested two years ago, Iskandar appeared to be in good spirits, waving to his family and friends who attended the hearing.

if only it were 2 m&ds being killed by a chinese policeman it would be better.

In fact ask the m&ds themselves they want to let off the m&d since the victims are 2 chinese.

Policeman accused of killing a father and son in 2013; over 100 witnesses scheduled to testify

Selina Lum

The widely anticipated trial of policeman Iskandar Rahmat, accused of a double murder in Kovan more than two years ago, is scheduled to start in the High Court tomorrow.

Iskandar, 36, has been remanded in custody since his arrest at an eatery in Johor Baru, two days after allegedly killing a father and son.

He is charged with murdering car workshop owner Tan Boon Sin, 67, and Tan Chee Heong, 42, by inflicting multiple knife wounds on them at about 3.30pm on July 10, 2013.

The older Mr Tan's body was found in his Hillside Drive terrace house, and his son's was found on the road outside Kovan MRT station.

Details of the deaths shocked Singaporeans, especially accounts of how the younger man's body was dragged under the family's Toyota Camry before it was dislodged outside the MRT station. The blood- stained car was found in Eunos.

But the biggest surprise came when it emerged that the suspect was a policeman. Iskandar, then 34, was a senior staff sergeant attached to Bedok Police Division and had been with the force since 1999.

Announcing Iskandar's arrest on July 13, 2013, then Police Commissioner Ng Joo Hee said that when he was told the suspect could be a cop, his reaction was one of disbelief, swiftly followed by anger and anguish.

"I cannot remember the last time a murder suspect was also a police officer. You may have seen this kind of thing depicted in the movies and on TV, but when it happens for real, it hits you like a freight train," he said.

On July 15, Iskandar was charged with two counts of murder. Police said he had been interdicted, a step taken when a civil servant faces serious charges and that includes suspension from duty and docking of pay. Police also confirmed he was facing disciplinary proceedings for failing to declare his personal debt.

Iskandar's trial is scheduled over two tranches, during which Justice Tay Yong Kwang will hear testimonies from more than 100 witnesses.

The first tranche, due to last from tomorrow until Oct 30, will see mainly witnesses of fact taking the stand. The second is set to take place from March 29 to April 8 next year, and will focus on expert evidence from forensic pathologists, psychiatrists and other experts.

American forensic scientist Henry Chang-Yu Lee, who has worked on famous cases like the JonBenet Ramsey murder and the trial of American football player O.J. Simpson, will testify for the prosecution.

Deputy Public Prosecutors Lau Wing Yum, Prem Raj and Mansoor Amir will conduct the prosecution's case.

Mr Shashi Nathan, Mr Rajan Supramaniam and Ms N. Sudha Nair are defending Iskandar under the Legal Assistance Scheme for Capital Offences.

Iskandar is charged under Section 300(a) of the Penal Code, which carries the mandatory death penalty. It is the most serious form of murder in which there is intention to cause death.

Generally, a person charged with murder can raise several defences for his actions, including provocation, self-defence and sudden fight. If the court accepts his defence, he will be found guilty of culpable homicide, which carries the maximum of life imprisonment, and caning.

Another defence option is to convince the court that Iskandar's acts fall under three other forms of murder, in which the court can choose to impose the death penalty or life imprisonment and caning.

Low crime rate in Spore:confused:

Maybe low violent crime rates but plenty of cheatings, scams, shop thefts, bicycle thefts... i.e. crimes for profit.
I won't be surprised if there is also plenty of fights going on among foreign workers. Suspect the ban on alcohol sales was not just about the riot in little india,

We get the wrong impression because crimes are under reported by the local media.

How Kovan double muderer Iskandar executed his plan

According to the prosecution, Iskandar was planning to rob the elder Tan on 10 July, which was the last day for him to pay back his debt to OCBC. Lau retraced the steps that Iskandar took.

- Iskandar impersonated an officer from the Police Intelligence Division and warned Tan that his safe deposit box at Certis CISCO was going to be broken into

- He retrieved a dummy CCTV camera from his home, enclosed it in a box and told Tan to put it within his safe deposit box before 3pm that same day

-He told Tan to remove his valuables from the safe deposit box so he can have access to them

-He brought with him a security pass, a warrant card and a mock walkie-talkie

-He wore the same uniform as when he was an investigation officer

-He rented a car to appear more professional instead of riding on his scooter

-He escorted Tan, who had taken the valuables from the safe deposit box, to his house

A bag of valuables, consisting of old notes worth more than $200,000, was left behind in the house on the day of the said attack, the court was told.

The investigation officer of the murder case, Deputy Superintendent Daniel Wong, said the bag was only found eight days after the incident at the storage area under the staircase of the house.

Iskandar’s financial problems

Iskandar began to face financial problems after divorcing his wife in early 2005. He was unable to pay the loans for his flat and car, and was forced to have them sold by OCBC. Despite that, he still owed $60,000 to the bank as of June 2012.

A bank employee in charge of unsecured debt facilities contacted Iskandar on 3 July 2013 to settle the matter out-of-court for $50,000.

During the same period, Iskandar’s superiors discovered his financial troubles, and he had to attend disciplinary proceedings. He informed them that he would be getting help from a “cousin”, and investigations revealed the said “cousin” did not exist. At the time of the murder, Iskandar only had less than $400 in his bank account at the time.
