The trial of the Yishun Triple Murder case has begun and many grisly details of the incident has been revealed in court.
Three people were killed and one was seriously injured in the incident that had happened on 18 September, 2008, in a sixth floor unit at Blk 349, Yishun Avenue 11.
Chinese national Wang Zhi Jian, 42, has been charged with the murder of Mdm Zhang Meng, 42, her daughter Feng Jian Ning, 17, Mdm Yang Jie, 36, and the attempted murder of Mdm Yang's daughter, who was 14 years old at the time.
The two older women were "study mamas" from China, accompanying their children studying in Singapore.
Wang, from Tianjin, China, had come to Singapore on a social visit pass and had stayed with his lover, Mdm Zhang Meng.
Mdm Zhang Meng had an estranged husband in China at the time.
On the day of the killings, Wang had quarreled with Mdm Zhang at about 10pm, and could not go to sleep.
The fuming man got up, took a knife from the kitchen, and stabbed Mdm Zhang a total of 41 times in her sleep.
He only stopped stabbing her when she finally stopped moving.
Awakened by her mother's screams, Feng Jian Ning came to the room to see what happened.
Wang saw Feng in the doorway and charged at her, deliberately stabbing the teen many times in her vital areas. He stopped when Feng collapsed and stopped moving, having stabbed her 41 times.
Staying in another bedroom were Mdm Yang Jie and her teen daughter, who were also awakened by the screams.
Wang dashed to Mdm Yang's room and began to slash Yang's daughter. When he saw Mdm Yang trying to escape, he stopped and chased after her instead.
Mdm Yang ran into the kitchen and in her panic, sought to escape by climbing out the kitchen window.
She ended up toeing a thin ledge outside the flat, clinging onto clothes-pole holders outside the window for dear life.
Wang hacked at Mdm Yang's fingers until she let go and fell to her death.
Police arrived shortly after to find Mdm Yang's body on the ground near the flat's rubbish chute.
After a floor-by-floor search, the police found a blood-stained padlock on the door of the sixth floor unit.
Civil Defence personnel broke down the door and found Wang in the flat with the deceased Mdm Zhang, her teen daughter Feng, and Mdm Yang's daughter, who was injured.
The teen girl, still alive, was rushed to hospital and has since recovered.
In court, Wang pleaded innocence to Mdm Yang's murder and claimed that he did not intend for the murder of Mdm Zhang and her daughter Feng.
