Anthony Ler (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Anthony Ler Wee Teang (c. 1967 – 13 December 2002) was a Singaporean convicted murderer who hired a youth to murder his wife, 30-year-old real-estate agent Annie Leong Wai Mun, who was in the midst of a divorce with him. Ler's motive was to become the sole owner of their flat and to gain custody of their four-year-old daughter. Ler approached five youths and offered them a reward of S$100,000 to kill Leong. A 15-year-old boy whom Ler had known for five years accepted the offer. Ler threatened and manipulated the youth to carry out the deed. After several failed attempts, the youth fatally stabbed Leong. The boy was not named to protect his identity since he was a minor. Court documents and media instead referred to the boy as "Z". Anthony Ler was convicted of masterminding the murder, and was hanged after he lost his appeal and clemency plea. As Z was a minor below the age of 18 at the time of the crime, he could not be sentenced to death and was hence detained indefinitely, serving nearly 17 years in prison before his release on 2 November 2018. The murder case was adapted into a documentary and an episode of a true crime TV series. The memoir of Subhas Anandan, Ler's lawyer, was subsequently adapted into another true crime series and published in Guilty As Charged: 25 Crimes That Have Shaken Singapore Since 1965, a collection of crime stories by The Straits Times.
