Circuit Road flat murder (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

On 21 March 2016, 28-year-old Zhang Huaxiang (张花香 Zhāng Huáxiāng; 6 November 1987 – 21 March 2016), a China-born nurse working in Singapore, was murdered by her close male friend Boh Soon Ho (卜顺和 Bǔ Shǔnhé), a Malaysian working as a cafeteria worker in Singapore. Boh's motive behind the murder was due to him feeling jealous over Zhang, whom he considered his girlfriend, not reciprocating his feelings and went out with another man, which caused him to use a towel to strangle Zhang in a fit of anger, and he even tried having sex on her corpse. After the killing, Boh escaped to his native state of Melaka before his arrest two weeks later, and he was extradited to Singapore to face charges of murder, dishonestly misappropriating Zhang's belongings and having sex on her corpse. Three years later, Boh was brought to trial in September 2019 and for the charge of murdering Zhang, Boh was found guilty and sentenced to lifetime imprisonment on 8 February 2020, after the prosecution decided to not seek the death penalty given that the case did not show any viciousness or blatant disregard for human life in terms of Boh's conduct at the time of the murder. Eight months after his sentencing, Boh lost his appeal against his conviction and hence, he is currently serving his life sentence at Changi Prison, where he was incarcerated since April 2016. The Circuit Road murder case was later dramatized in Singapore crime show Crimewatch and the re-enactment aired as the first episode of the show's annual season in 2022. (en)
