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.

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.

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. 417:) told the police that on the afternoon of 27 January 1989, Lim Lee Tin, who was the second of his three daughters, went outdoors from the family's Ang Mo Kio flat at around 3 pm, but she did not tell him where she was going.

Yaw Kim was arrested in 302:. 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.

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.
