A former property agent who murdered his pregnant wife and their four-year-old daughter in 2017, then set their corpses on fire, was executed on April 16.

Teo Ghim Heng, 49, strangled housewife Choong Pei Shan, 39, who was six months pregnant, and daughter Zi Ning in their Woodlands flat on Jan 20, 2017.

The Singapore Prison Service told The Straits Times that his sentence was carried out at Changi Prison Complex.

In a news release on April 16, the police said: “He was accorded full due process under the law, and was represented by legal counsel both at the trial and at the appeal. His petitions to the President for clemency were unsuccessful.”

The police added that capital punishment is imposed only for the most serious crimes, including murder.

Teo, who was sentenced to hang by the High Court in November 2020, had his appeal dismissed by the Court of Appeal in February 2022.

IMHO this case should not be classified as murder due to the wife berated him yet having affair.
It was an impulsive act that he strangled them.
The court should be awared that financial difficulties + unfaithful wife/husband in a familee can leesult in many unfortunate outcome to anyone, not only to the mentally unsounds.

Rip.

KNN how many executioner are there in the spf?

What do they do besides carrying out execution? Or are they a regular mata trained to execute?

They must be very secretive about their job.
Very dirty job.

As a serial loser myself, I can empathize with him. If he had not killed his daughter at the same time, he would have stood a good chance of avoiding a death sentence based on the defence of provocation. The daughter did not provoke him.

Totally agreed as a minor serial loser since kcb.
The death sentence should be directly leelated to the daughters killing.

He caused all the problems by himself and still dare to take wife and daughter's lives. This kind of useless evil guy deserved to be thrown into the 18 levels of hell.

The High Court heard that Teo was an avid gambler who racked up debts of at least $120,000 at the end of 2016, but kept his wife in the dark about the extent of his debts.

He listed the flat for sale and took on another job as a sales coordinator.

"The accused felt that Pei Shan should have contributed to the household income by working. He also never fully forgave her for an affair she had a few years back, and strongly suspected that Zi Ning was not his biological daughter," said Deputy Public Prosecutor Han Ming Kuang.

According to Teo's statements to the police, he and Madam Choong, a housewife, had an argument on Jan 18, 2017, about his financial problems. He told her he owed a total of $70,000 and could not pay their daughter's kindergarten fees.

Noone would want to create problem by themselves.
You can see things were good when he was a successful property agent.
But once he lost the rice bowl, he became a useless sales coordinator with a reno company with low salary.
From here, with his wife beratings, he would want to have more money.
Therefore he gambled stupidly without any secret code guidance. A common mistake committed by many.
It is a chain Lee action 一错再儿三的错
In an impulse and spur of moment, anyone could have killed the wife.

But as @NanoSpeed noted that the daughter was an innocent party.

So if he didn't killed his daughter, likely he would be charged with homicide rather than murder.
