Alexandra Chan, 28, had pleaded guilty in June. On Monday, her
sentencing was adjourned to Oct 6 for social workers to gauge her
suitability for probation. A Community Court heard that Chan, a
part-time yoga instructor, was suffering from depression and
required treatment.
On the morning of Nov 22, she had a quarrel with her husband, Mr
Tang Sin Tong, 39, over her refusal to go on a holiday cruise with
him. The businessman left the apartment at the Linear Condominium
in Upper Bukit Timah Road and returned at about 4pm.
About two hours later, Chan knocked on the master bedroom door
and told her husband to unlock it as she wanted to take some of her
belongings.
When she got in, she suddenly started slashing him with the
kitchen knife. He tried to block the knife but sustained cuts on
his right hand and right knee.
