provide them living expenses, and his mother said that Ho was thrifty in spending money. When Ho's corpse was found, he sustained head injuries and several stab wounds on his body, and the corpse was also infested with maggots, and his valuables were also missing from the house, including Ho's electronic safe, Ho's ATM cards and two identity cards belonging to Ho and a Lee Yean Shan. The police therefore deduced that the possible motive was robbery. Dr Lai Siang Hui, a forensic pathologist, certified that there were 13 stab wounds on Ho's body, and she stated that the cause of death was due to multiple stab wounds to Ho's thorax. There were no signs of forced entry into the flat, which gave credence to the police's theory that the killer was someone known to Ho. An eyewitness stated that he last saw a man with long hair stepping out of Ho's flat, and the person was often seen going in and out of the flat. There were also signs that a struggle also took place. Ho's flat was also cordoned for eight hours during their search for evidence.

He also noted that the condition did not deprive Lim of the ability to differentiate between right and wrong.

Even so, Justice Rajah expressed his sympathy for Lim due to the unhappy childhood and trauma of rape which Lim underwent. Therefore, 28-year-old Lim Ah Liang was sentenced to life in prison by
Justice Rajah.

Dr Tan also certified that due to Lim's abusive and violent childhood, his trauma of being raped in the past, and other emotional scars, it led to Lim suffering from depression and based on Dr Tan's opinion, Lim would have a relapse and had a high risk of re-offending, as attributed to weak familial support, lack of education and marketable skills, and his criminal history, and the severity of Lim's condition was so much so that he might need to depend on medication for life.

The defence also argued that Lim concealed the evidence of his presence at the scene of the crime out of desperation and panic after finding out that Ho had died and he stole the safe not out of greed, but only out of fear that it contained records of the customers he serviced, and it might potentially identify him as a suspect, and his financial woes and need for money to flee the country was what drove Lim to ask his friends to sell the stolen items. Hence, they asked that Lim should not be given a life term as what the prosecution pushed for.

This deviated from the previous law where it decreed that a life term was equivalent to a fixed jail term of twenty years. The legal change was applicable to criminal cases that were committed after 20 August 1997. Since the killing of Ho Kien Leong occurred on 13 September 2005, eight years and one month after the legal reform, Lim was to be imprisoned for the remainder of his natural life under the present life imprisonment laws.
