Cabby already dead when ransom demand was made
By Leong Wee Keat, TODAY | Posted: 07 March 2011 2341 hrsSINGAPORE - When cabby Yuen Swee Hong, 58, failed to return to his Serangoon home from his shift on April 11, 2009, Madam Chan Oi Lin called her husband's mobile phone and was met with a threat from a man with a mainland Chinese accent.
He said that he had kidnapped Mr Yuen and that the cabby "is going to die".
He demanded $150,000 in ransom.
But unknown to Mdm Chan, her husband was probably already dead.
Opening the prosecutor's case in the High Court murder trial against Chinese national Wang Wenfeng, 32, Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Eugene Lee also told the court that the cabby had up to five stab wounds on his shirt and his taxi - found in a multi-storey carpark in Canberra Link - was splattered with blood.
DPP Lee added that it was Wang who led the police to Mr Yuen's decomposed body, hidden in a forested area in Sembawang on April 17, 2009.
He also led the police into a forested area at Nee Soon Road where a haversack containing two knives and other items such as gloves, cable ties and nylon rope were found.
In court, Mdm Chan recalled the shock and anguish when the ransom demand was made.
The widow told the court that she received another call and managed to reduce the ransom amount to $80,000.
Their son alerted the police.
The next day, Mdm Chan and the male caller settled on a sum of $5,000, to be delivered at Marsiling MRT station.
There, she received a text message to remit the money into a China Construction Bank account.
She refused as she wanted to hear her husband's voice first.
She waited there for many hours without avail and went home.
The man called again and asked her if she had remitted the money.
"I replied again that I did not know how to do so. He replied that he did not care and ended the call abruptly. That was the last time I heard from the male caller," said Mdm Chan.
The vctim's brother, Mr Yuen Peng Yin, who was with Mdm Chan at that time, told the court that they did not remit the money as they thought it was a scam.
Wang's wife, Mdm Gong Wenying, testified that her husband "was stressed over money" and "appeared to be desperate" to raise money for his mother's cancer treatment.
Wang, a general worker, had also mentioned selling his organs to raise money.
"I was not sure if he was serious but I advised him that we had time to make money as we were still young," said Mdm Gong.
Wang's co-tenant, Mr Chen Yongquan, said that on April 10 - the night before the alleged murder - Wang left the flat with a haversack and claimed that Wang said he "needed to do something outside".
When Mr Chen commented that it was already late, Wang replied "robbery".
"I thought he was joking," said Mr Chen.
Wang was arrested at People's Park Complex on April 13, 2009 after he collected a one-way ticket to Xiamen, China.
The hearing continues.

Dun be so sure, as it is a foreigner that committed the crime, he might just get a life sentence only.So far some of the cases that involved in foreigner/elites tend to get lighter sentence. At least this is the impression that I get. Some case can recall.
1) A PRC that kill another and set fire to his factory get life sentence.
2) A foreigner manager that molest a 12 yrs old girl in the lift get away with a fine.
3) A drunk foreigner bash a taxi driver also get away with a fine
4) A hit and run case end up with a fine citing the reason that the sound proof of the car is too good that is why the driver can't hear that she hit someone
5) A driver run over and kill someone while beating the red light and using the handphone (without handfree) also get away with it.
And there are still a numbers more, if plp bother to check

Wow.. if thats the case, its freaky... sounds more like a loophole.

law is never as easy as we think it is....
Judges do have a hard time circumspecting the facts of the case before arriving at the fatal decision....they, too, are humans
