Upper Bukit Timah factory murders

On 15 June 1969, at a factory in Singapore's Upper Bukit Timah, two Hongkongers, Kan Sze Hing () and Leung Fung (), who were workers of the factory were murdered by two men during a robbery bid. The robbers, identified as 20-year-old Liew Kim Siong () and 19-year-old Kee Ah Tee (), were arrested and charged with the double murder, and investigations revealed that the two suspects and a third person had planned to rob Leung for money on the date of the stabbings. Although the two youths denied committing the double murder and put up a defence that they were not inside the factory at the time of the killings, both Liew and Kee were found guilty of murdering both Leung and Kan, and sentenced to death by the High Court in May 1970. The youths were eventually hanged in 1972 after losing their appeals against the death penalty. Provided by Wikipedia
