Man convicted of 14 charges in Sentosa's
trolley-bag-death case
SINGAPORE: A businessman implicated in the Sentosa
trolley bag death case has been convicted of 14
charges.
Teo Boon Leng, 45, was granted a discharge not
amounting to an acquittal on a murder charge in August last
year.
On Thursday, he was found guilty of sending false
messages, not reporting the death of his sex partner to the
authorities, as well as for charges relating to drug consumption,
among other things.
The decomposed body of Dylan Wong Teck Siong, 28, was stuffed in a
trolley bag and was found two weeks later in the waters off Sentosa
on April 16, 2011.
Wong died in an apartment at Keppel Bay Drive, which was shared by
Teo and his partner Pee Weai Hong.
Earlier this week, Pee, 33, was sentenced to two weeks' jail for
not alerting the police about Wong's death.
The three men were involved in a love triangle, which started two
months before Wong's death.
On the morning of 3 April 2011, Teo had found Wong lying face down
in the apartment.
He told Pee he did not want to report the matter as he had taken
drugs and had also ejaculated into Wong's body.
Teo added that the police might also detect drugs in Pee's
body.
Teo also deceived Wong's family and friends by sending false text
messages, using the deceased's phone.
The prosecution proceeded on six of the 14 charges, with the other
eight to be taken into consideration during sentencing.
A 15th charge relating to intentional omission to provide
information to public servant has been withdrawn.
The court will hear Teo's mitigation on 22 March.
