**Breaking News: Gruesome Murder Shocks Singapore as Body Parts Discovered in River**
In a chilling turn of events, Singapore is reeling from one of its most horrific murders, known as the Kang River body parts case. The remains of 22-year-old Leu Hung, a promising young woman, were discovered dismembered and discarded in cardboard boxes along the river just days after she vanished on June 13, 2005.
Leu, who had moved to Singapore to build a better life, was last seen with her lover, 50-year-old Leong Su Chaw, a married man who became obsessed with her. What began as a secret affair spiraled into a nightmare when Leong, fearing exposure after stealing over $2,000 from Leu’s bank account, brutally murdered her in a premeditated act of violence.
Witnesses report that Leu was lured to Leong’s home under the guise of a casual visit. In a shocking betrayal, he strangled her with a towel before dismembering her body with a cleaver and rubber mallet. The heinous act was executed with horrifying precision, as he meticulously wrapped her remains in plastic bags and discarded them throughout the city.
The search for Leu began when she failed to check in with her sister, prompting a missing person report. However, the investigation took a grim turn when a river cleaner stumbled upon her severed torso, sending shockwaves through the community. As police pieced together the evidence, they uncovered Leong’s involvement, leading to his arrest just days after the murder.
During a tense trial, Leong initially claimed a lover’s pact led to the killing but later confessed that fear of losing everything drove him to commit the crime. The court ultimately found him guilty of murder, sentencing him to death. He was executed on November 30, 2007, leaving a community grappling with the aftermath of this brutal act.
As Singapore mourns the loss of a vibrant life cut short, the impact of this gruesome case lingers, forever marking the city with its chilling legacy.
