LADIES, BEWARE OF HANDSOME MEN!

 - strongly related to P7 AAA and abtractly in F8 and P1, Examiner's FAVOURITE Topic


BEST TIP for Studies: Believe in yourself!



Over 20 years of lecturing and other ventures* [see footnote, please]. That is an exciting journey to help and support so many ACCA under-graduates to succeed.

Enjoy my classes, I always have. You may recall in my class about the Forensic Audit Investigation that the evidences compiled are so strong that they are admissable in court.

A dashing Handsome man courted a single mom of 2 kids. He is irresistible with a catchy contagious smile. To add to his swerveness, he is a Grand Prix racer and respectable middle class family background.

The woman fell heads over heels for such a dream man. But this is to her detriment - her 'accidental' death. A perfect murder as the dashing man stands to collect an insurance premium worth RM16.5 million at present value.

When a love story is too good to be true, it usually is.

See article below and enjoy the Forensic investigation evidences. Do you see there are at least 7 evidences submitted to court that delivers a death sentence verdict on [cruel heartless] dashing man!

Lesson learnt: Don't trust [handsome] men, but yourself! Especially when they ask you out and skip ACCA classes!

Cheers.

Exclaimer of liability: The articles are written in fun, humourous style with no intention to target any individuals. The objective however is to MOTIVATE my students to NEVER GIVE UP in their quest to succeed in career/business.

Sunny Ang and 'the perfect murder'

It appeared to be the perfect murder - there were no witnesses, and there was not even a body.
Yet, one-time Grand Prix driver Sunny Ang was sentenced to hang for killing his barmaid girlfriend, Ms Jenny Cheok.


Pic 01: Sunny Ang charged with the Perfect Murder




One of Singapore's most sensational murder cases, it marked the first time the prosecution had won a case that was based entirely on circumstantial evidence.

Ang was one of the last murderers to be sent to the gallows by a jury; Singapore abolished jury trials in 1969.

This week in 1965, the preliminary inquiry for the case was heard, and the court was told that Ang stood to gain some $400,000 from the death of his girlfriend.

They had met in 1963 at the bar where she worked. She was 22 and he, 24.

Ang came from a middle-class background and had been selected to train as a pilot under a government scholarship programme, but his poor conduct during training cost him that dream.

Pic 03: Handsome but deadly
He took part in the 1961 Grand Prix, but landed in trouble later for killing a pedestrian through negligent driving, and attempted burglary. He was also declared a bankrupt.

Ms Cheok was a single mother of two who had not finished primary school.

On Aug 27, 1963, the couple went on a diving trip near Sisters' Islands and Ms Cheok disappeared.
Her body was never found.

Pic 04: No remorse face
All that was left was a single flipper she had worn, and its heel strap was found to have been severed cleanly at the top and bottom, likely by a knife or razor blade.

An expert witness would tell Ang's trial that the loss of the flipper would have resulted in a diver's loss of equilibrium and affected the person's mobility.

As an inexperienced diver, Ms Cheok would have panicked and drowned in the strong currents.
Ang, a skilled diver, stood to gain from the payouts of insurance policies he had begun buying for her two months before the dive trip.

He also had a will drawn up in which she left her entire estate to his mother.

In one piece of circumstantial evidence, it was revealed that an insurance policy worth about $150,000 had expired on the day before the diving trip, but Ang extended it just three hours before they got on the boat.

When Ms Cheok failed to surface after her dive, Ang did not seem worried and did not enter the water to look for her.

Within 24 hours, he tried to make full insurance claims.

Pic 05: Witness Ms Aryes Soh testified that Sunny Ang didn't go in search for his girlfriend in the waters
In May 1965, Ang was sentenced to hang after the jury turned in a unanimous guilty verdict.
The prosecution was led by Mr Francis Seow, who went on to become solicitor-general and an opposition politician.

Ang was defended by Mr Punch Coomaraswamy, who later became a high court judge and diplomat.
Ang failed in his appeal and plea for clemency, and was hanged on Feb 6, 1967.
