Ng also claimed he alighted the car and tried to dissuade Chin, but Chin was adamant about killing Lim to help his sister escape the harassment. Subsequently, after the men re-entered the car, Chin, whose right hand was paralysed in a past traffic accident, grabbed a knife with his left hand (his only good hand) and stabbed Lim multiple times until she died. Ng said that he prevented the corpse from falling over to avoid getting his car stained in blood and he was forced to help Chin dispose of the corpse in the nearby drain, and took away Lim's wallet and other belongings.

so but she eventually told Lim that she was married. At that time, Chin had registered her marriage with Siew in 1985, although she had not gone through the traditional
Chinese marriage ceremony. Lim thus often harassed Chin, asking to borrow money from her from time to time. Chin, who was working as a factory worker at that time, had to also borrow money from her colleagues in order to lend Lim money. On 8 October 1992, the date of Chin's formal wedding, Lim even asked Chin to meet up with her on the night itself and lived with her for seven days before Chin returned to her husband's flat. Lim went on to make nuisance calls to Chin and would sometimes loiter around the void deck below Chin's flat.

which Ng had confessed to holding on to Lim's body during the stabbing to prevent it from falling or slanting over; the autopsy report also concluded that Lim was held tightly in the sitting position while being stabbed to death. Singh also pointed out that after Lim was killed, Ng had actively helped Yaw Kim to dispose Lim's corpse into the drain and removed all her belongings to avoid the identification of Lim or any connection to Seow Noi. For Ng's role in the murder and his common intention with Yaw Kim to stab Lim, Singh also found 28-year-old Ng Kim Heng guilty of murder like the Chin siblings.

the plan to stop Lim's harassment. They came up with a plan to let Ng pretend to be a loan shark, and Ng would, according to the plan, confront Seow Noi in front of Lim, demanding for Seow Noi to pay back S$ 4,000 to Ng. Their plan was also to make Lim agree to help Seow Noi discharge her debt, in order to secretly get back some of the money Seow Noi lent to Lim. The plan was executed, and as the trio hoped, Lim agreed to help Seow Noi pay off the debt. However, Lim continued to harass Seow Noi. This led to Seow Noi deciding to call Yaw Kim and Ng, asking them to help her "get rid of" Lim.

remained disguising as a loan shark, and they drove to Choa Chu Kang
Christian cemetery. Chin claimed that after they parked their car near a drain in the cemetery, he saw Lim and Ng getting out of the car and they both got into a heated argument about the debt issue. Yaw Kim, who stated that their plan was merely to assault Lim and warn her not to get near his sister again, said in his confession that he was shocked to see Ng taking out a knife and stabbed Lim while the latter was standing nearby the drain. This led to the duo having to abandon Lim's corpse into the graveyard drain.

often talked about her. Lim even went as far as to make nuisance calls to Chin and would sometimes loiter around the HDB block where Chin resided. Low recalled that during the final week before her murder, Lim told him that Chin was harassed by two loan sharks for not paying back her loan of $ 4,000, and on the night of her murder, a few hours before Lim's death, Low received a phone call, in which the caller asked to meet up with Lim. Low recognised the caller as Chin's brother Chin Yaw Kim. After that phone call, Low last saw Lim departing his flat.

the blame for the crime. They also stated there was no other evidence to directly prove the charges of murder against Yaw Kim and Ng, the latter who additionally claimed he was forced to make incriminating statements. The lawyers of the three accused went on to extend their submissions to the interpretation of certain laws and citations of past legal cases in comparison to the case, so as to discredit the validity of using their police statements to prove their charges against them.
673:, they emphasised on the need for caution to use the co-accused's testimony to determine a person's guilt due to the accompanying risk of false incrimination by the co-accused, and the conviction of a person on such grounds should be done with satisfaction that the person is guilty after considering every factor and incentive of the case. 48-year-old Norasharee and his third accomplice
283:(who would become a victim of murder in 1999), took charge of the investigations. Forensic pathologist Wee Keng Poh, who arrived at the scene, tested the body first-hand and found that the deceased man, who have seven knife wounds on his body, had sustained five fatal knife wounds to his heart and lungs, and Lim may have been taken totally by surprise when he was stabbed.

She was also shocked to hear that Lim, her former "male" lover, was actually a woman. One of the two men implicated by Chin was her younger brother Chin Yaw Kim, a 27-year-old insurance agent. Yaw Kim was arrested in
291:. Due to her large man-like build, close-cropped short hair, manly appearance, and masculine mannerisms, Lim was often mistook as a man by her acquaintances and neighbours, and even the police officers prior to Dr Wee's discovery. Lim, who was also called "Jack" by her friends, was said to have wanted to go through a

at the crime scene where Lim's corpse was found, there were minute drops and stains of blood in the nearby area. These above facts thus contrasted and refuted Yaw Kim's claim that Lim was stabbed by Ng outside the car while in a standing position. As such, Singh also found 30-year-old Chin Yaw Kim guilty of murder.
556:
During the appeal, the appellate court turned to the question of whether a person can be convicted based on the confession of his co-accused. In the trial itself prior to the appeal, Singh earlier interpreted
Section 30 of the Evidence Act and held that a co-accused's confession should not be used as

Turning to the second accused Chin Yaw Kim, Singh judged from the forensic evidence that Lim was indeed being stabbed fatally whilst in a sitting position. Also, the autopsy report by Dr Wee Keng Poh stated that the severity of the wounds would have caused Lim to bleed out large amounts of blood, yet

The continued harassment led to Chin unable to endure it anymore. She thus asked her brother Chin Yaw Kim to come to

The prosecution also based their case on the confessions of the Chin siblings and Ng. Firstly, according to Chin Seow Noi's confession, she stated that after meeting Lim, she was often asked by Lim to go on a date with her everyday. Chin, who was unaware of Lim's true gender back then, agreed to do

Another of these witnesses was Lim's friend Low Kum Swee, who appeared in court to testify that he first introduced Lim to Chin in late 1987 at a gambling den. Lau stated that ever since that day, Lim, who would sometimes come live at his flat, told him that she was apparently attracted to Chin and

Finally, in relation to the third and final accused Ng Kim Heng, Singh stated that he did not believe Ng's claims that he tried to warn the victim or dissuade the Chin siblings, and he viewed these statements as Ng's attempt to deflect blame from himself. Singh referred to Ng's first statement, in

As for Yaw Kim's lawyer Choo Si Sen and Ng Kim Heng's lawyer Peter
Cuthbert Low, they both made similar arguments against the admission of the men's confessions, stating that the two men's confessions were not amounting to their admission to committing the murder of Lim, but to clear themselves of

Chin Seow Noi's lawyer Ronald Ng (unrelated to Ng Kim Heng) argued against the admission of the confession, stating that the prosecution proceeded with the charge of abetment of murder based on Seow Noi's confession as sole evidence against her but not other incriminating evidence. Ng also argued

The police investigations also extended to Lim's acquaintances. It led to the arrest of 29-year-old housewife Chin Seow Noi, a

The natural interpretation of s30 is that it allows the conviction of an accused person to be sustained solely on the basis of a confession by his co-accused, provided, of course, that the evidence emanating from that confession satisfies the court beyond reasonable doubt of the accused’s guilt.

Subsequently, on the same day he admitted the confessions, Singh ordered the three defendants to go to the stand and put up their defence. However, Ng and the Chin siblings chose to remain silent and not give their testimony on the stand. The right to remain silent was a valid legal option under

Chin Yaw Kim, in his confession, stated that on the night of the murder, he met up with Lim over his sister's debt, and they eventually came up with the agreement that Lim would pay S$ 3,000 and Chin would pay the remaining S$ 1,000 to the "loan shark" Ng. Together, the pair met up with Ng, who

During the time the trio were held on death row, Chin Seow Noi's husband Siew See Kow unfailingly visited his wife regularly in prison. Siew, who did not know of his wife's relationship with Lim until her arrest, stated in a 1995 Chinese newspaper interview that he was shocked about his wife's

In his judgement, Singh ruled that based on the context of evidence, the first accused Chin Seow Noi's verbal meaning of the three words "get rid of" could only mean that she intended to cause the death of the deceased victim Lim Lee Tin, and she knew that the death of Lim was the probable

461:
Ng Kim Heng and Chin Yaw Kim, the two men who killed Lim Lee Tin on the night of 27 January 1989, confessed that they were indeed together with Lim on the night of the murder. However, they gave contrasting accounts of who stabbed Lim and what happened before and after the stabbing.
