SINGAPORE – After strangling a 28-year-old nurse in a jealous rage, a middle-aged man took photos of her nude body and tried to have sex with the corpse.
Boh Soon Ho, a 51-year-old Malaysian, told himself that “since (the woman) has died and I have never seen her naked before, I should undress her”, the High Court heard on Wednesday (Sept 18), the first day of his murder trial.
The cafeteria worker has been charged with strangling Chinese national Zhang Huaxiang with a towel between 12.15pm and about 5.50pm on March 21, 2016, in his rented Circuit Road bedroom. If convicted, he faces life imprisonment or the death penalty.
“This is a case of a murder driven by jealousy, rage and unrequited desire,” Deputy Public Prosecutor Wong Kok Weng said in his opening statement.
The DPP told the court that Boh considered Ms Zhang to be his girlfriend as they went shopping and had meals together, even though they had never been physically intimate. Boh also bought her gifts.
