Body parts murder: Leong's appeal against death sentence dismissed
Singapore's Highest Court, the Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeal by
Leong Siew Chor against the death sentence in the Kallang body parts
murder case.
The former factory supervisor was convicted of butchering his lover,
22-year-old Chinese national Liu Hong Mei, and sentenced to death by the
High Court.
Liu's dismembered body parts were found along the Kallang River in June
last year.
Leong now has one final avenue of appeal - and that is to seek a
Presidential Pardon.
