Kallang body parts murder trial

For the past 2 weeks, Kwong Wah (the local Chinese newspaper) carried series of court report prominently in the page 2 on the case of PP v Leong Siew Chor.

Finally, the Singapore High Court delivered the verdict -- death sentence. The accused has cut the deceased body into 7 parts and carried it on bicycle and cab before threw it to different location in the island.

Part of the judgment:
"He made a few incisions at her private parts intending to cut upwards towards the chest. He then thought it was not a good idea and decided to cut across the waist instead. When he succeeded in doing so using the same chopper and rubber mallet, some of the entrails fell out. He threw them into the toilet bowl and flushed them away. After washing the blood off himself, he went out to get more plastic bags, some masking tape and a couple of carton boxes that used to contain computer components. He then returned to the toilet where he placed the lower torso into a plastic bag, put it into one of the carton boxes and sealed the box with masking tape."

I am going to read this horror story (judgment) tonight. Sometime, I think the law school should make psychology as a compulsory subject for law students
