The capital sentence of death imposed on a 59-year-old Singaporean was carried out on 7 August 2024.
2. He was convicted of having in his possession for the purpose of trafficking, two packets of granular substances that were analysed and found to contain not less than 35.85 grammes of diamorphine, or pure heroin. The Misuse of Drugs Act provides for the death penalty if the amount of diamorphine trafficked is more than 15 grammes. 35.85 grammes of diamorphine is sufficient to feed the addiction of about 430 abusers for a week.
3. He was accorded full due process under the law, and was represented by legal counsel throughout the process:
a. He was convicted and sentenced to capital punishment on 10 August 2021.
b. He appealed against his conviction and sentence, and the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal on 11 May 2022.
4. His petition to the President for clemency was unsuccessful.
