SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): If he had intended to commit murder, he would not have got caught, as he would have had a proper plan.
Accused murderer Leslie Khoo Kwee Hock said this in a statement a day after his arrest, when he was told by the police that he was being charged with the murder of 31-year-old engineer Cui Yajie.
Faced with a murder charge on July 21, Khoo denied he had any intention to kill her."If I had the intention, I would have had a better plan," he said in the handwritten statement. On Thursday, Deputy Attorney-General Hri Kumar Nair said of the statement:"This was the arrogance of a conman." Nair said:"You finally met a woman who did not simply accept your lies. Unlike the other women, she was asking for her money back and would not take no for an answer."
Khoo then tried a different strategy, starting a three-way call with his supervisor in the hope of stopping Cui. This plan failed when the victim said it was inconvenient to talk, as she was on the MRT.Khoo's next strategy was telling Cui that he would pick her up and take her to his supervisor, said Nair.
