Took Leng How sentenced to death for killing 8-year-old Huang
Na
SINGAPORE : Took Leng How has been sentenced to death for killing
8-year-old Huang Na.
During the trial at the High Court, the court heard how 22-year-old
Took had lured 8-year-old Huang Na at the Pasir Panjang Wholesale
Centre on October 10th last year, sexually assaulted her, and then
smothered her to death with his bare hands.
It was also shown evidence that Took had tied Huang Na's body with
string, sealed her body in 9 layers of plastic bags, and then
dumped her body down a slope at the Telok Blangah Hill Park.
Huang Na's disappearance sparked a nationwide search and it was not
until three weeks later that Took himself led the police to the
body. - CNA /ch
