Dr Teo also personally revealed his own pondering about what are exactly the thoughts that flashed through the mind of someone like Leong Siew Chor, who was in an intimate relationship with another person, which led to him ruthlessly taken the life of the person he was intimate with and dismembering her body. Dr Teo also confessed that the way of dismemberment in this case was quite revolting and gruesome, which could frighten even the most hardened of pathologists.
1101:, Sunil Sudheesan, Anandan's nephew and junior lawyer, admitted in his interview that during his first meeting with Leong, he never expected that an ordinary "uncle" like Leong would commit such a brutal crime, and he described Leong as a soft-spoken and gentle person. Sudheesan stated that, on the day Leong demonstrated to the court how he strangled Liu, after he went home, Sudheesan's mother and her family, who are of Chinese descent, asked him to use flower water to bathe himself, hoping to help him get rid of bad luck. Sudheesan also said that from what he observed, Leong did not show strong signs of remorse, arrogance or anger for his crime, and he was calm throughout the court proceedings.

He also said that it was always the case for the families whenever one of their relatives was involved in a murder case, and he criticized those criminals, including Leong, for being selfish and not thinking of their families whenever they committed the crimes. The lawyer also admitted to some degree of horror he felt over the gruesome nature of the case, as he had seen the 280 photographs of the dismembered body parts presented at the trial. Anandan said that as a result of the case, some members of the public, and his own kin - including his then teenage son and elder sister - had reprimanded him for representing a cold-blooded killer like Leong.

Leong's case was re-enacted and aired as the fourth episode of the show's first season, though some aspects of the case were altered for dramatic purposes. For instance, Leong was portrayed to be younger and more plump than his real-life counterpart, and he was not balding at all. The manner of his arrest and him butchering Liu's body also differed greatly from the real-life details, and even his adult children were portrayed as young school-going kids in this re-enactment. It is currently viewable via meWATCH.
1116:, and Leong's 54-year-old former colleague Fu Ru Cheng, were both interviewed in the episode. Both Tay and Fu stated their sympathy towards the plight of Liu and the manner of her death. Additionally, in another unrelated interview in 2018, Fu, who was a former suspect of the Kallang body parts case before Leong's arrest and confession, stated that Liu was a kind and gentle person, a fact which he reiterated four years later in his 2022 interview. Fu also revealed that during the time he was considered as a murder suspect, many people treated him with contempt and thought he was the killer since he was the youngest of Liu's three supervisors back then.
1108:, it was a sombre day to him as everyone in the court was told to stand up before Justice Tay Yong Kwang pronounced the death penalty on Leong. He described Leong's family as nice people and they remained supportive of him throughout the trial, and he felt it was a heartbreaking scene as he saw Leong and his family conversing in court shortly after the appeal's dismissal. Sudheesan recalled that during the final days of his life before his execution, Leong agreed to donate his organs to other people, and as a last act of kindness in his life, Leong shared his last meal together with the other death row inmates on the final day before his execution.
837:, said in an interview that when she saw Leong demonstrating how he strangled the victim with the towel, she noticed that Leong had a strange smile on his face. That smile, she said, had chilled the reporter to the bone and her mind was full of questions of what exactly went through Leong's mind at this point of time. Lum also said that Leong's defence of the victim allowing herself to be killed was a defence which many murderers rarely used against the charge of murder in Singapore itself, even though it was a legally recognised form of partial defence against murder under the law.

Similarly, the crime scene was clean without bloodstains or smell, but under the sink, Lim's superior found a bloodstain that belonged to the dead victim. Having recalled this, Lim checked under the sink but there was no bloodstain. It was only when he looked underneath the toilet bowl then he discovered a small red stain. The forensic tests later confirmed that red stain was blood, and it matched Liu's

He discovered a severed lower torso of a woman inside it. The naked body part had been cleanly severed at the pelvis and knee joints. Murugan described that the body part looked like fresh meat, and it was so fresh that it looked as though the woman did not die at all.

Singapore. In total, about $ 2,000 - her life's savings - was stolen from her. The police went to check the CCTV footage around the ATMs where these unauthorized withdrawals took place. In all the footage, they saw a slim man wearing a cap and hoodie making these withdrawals, and the investigators suspected that this person was Leong Siew Chor. The police thus suspected that Leong was not telling the truth, as the motive for Liu's death might be related to theft.

The judge admonished Leong for the cold-blooded nature of the crime and his lack of remorse, in which he had not only stolen the heart of the deceased, he also robbed her of her hard-earned savings and ATM cards, and then finally, and remorselessly, he deprived her of her right to live. He also said that the calculated manner of Liu's death and swift disposal of her body parts did not indicate Leong as a man who was agonised over the death of the love of his life.

The severed feet were never found.

because he still loved his wife and three adult children. He said that Liu, who was feeling despondent about their relationship, suggested to him that they shall die together. Leong also claimed that to show her sincerity, Liu willingly allowed him to strangle her first, then he shall strangle himself. Leong agreed to since he similarly felt despondent about the hopeless future of their relationship. He insisted that he loved her and felt mentally tortured about her death, and claimed no intention to kill her.
381:
Inspector Lim even noticed a few small cuts on Leong's fingers. It was then the police took him back to the police station for further questioning. Ten hours after being detained, Leong confessed to the police that he killed Liu, but he stated it was done so out of consent from Liu, who made a lovers' suicide pact with him, and he also confessed to having an affair with Liu since a year ago. On 18 June 2005, merely three days after the discovery of Liu's body parts, 50-year-old Leong Siew Chor was charged with

panic to conceal the body, given that one of his daughters was due to come home later in the evening, he knew that he had to do it quickly. Leong then told
Inspector Lim that he used a meat cleaver and a rubber mallet to dismember Liu's body. He did so by knocking the mallet against the cleaver to cut through the bones. In total, he chopped up the body into seven pieces, mainly her head, upper torso, lower torso, shins and feet, before packing them up in five separate packages using boxes and plastic bags.

that Liu might recognise him from the CCTV footage, and should he be arrested and convicted of theft, it meant that the truth about Leong's affair would become public knowledge to his family and all those who knew him. If they knew the truth, he would potentially lose his job, reputation and respect from his family and friends. Due to this, he decided to lure Liu into his home during that morning on 15 June 2005 before she make her trip to the bank, where he strangled her to death.

As a result of her suffering from depression at the time of the crime, Aguilar was spared the death sentence and instead incarcerated for ten years for culpable homicide.
1090:. In his memoir, Anandan raised his suspicions that Leong might have killed Liu for other reasons, because Leong had a stable income and was not short of cash, and it was strange that he stole Liu's cards. He should have begged for forgiveness from her should she really found out that he was the culprit, and need not to resort to such an extreme measure of ending her life. When he asked his client about this, Leong only replied, “I suppose it’s greed.”

Harvinder's friend, 25-year-old Gursharan Singh, who assisted Harvinder to dispose the evidence of Jasvinder's murder and her body parts, was jailed for 30 months for failing to report the crime to the police. In July 2015, a coroner's report found Harvinder guilty of the murder of his wife, as it was a well-organized crime and unlikely a crime of passion. As of today, Harvinder remains at large.
879:. The accused (Leong) stole the deceased's (Liu’s) heart, then pilfered her card and hard-earned savings and finally robbed her of her life. He butchered her after her death and took her apart. The deceased’s demise in the Geylang flat on 15 June 2005 was no spontaneous suicide. It was a horrific homicide. It was a most disgusting and despicable murder. Liu Hong Mei died a very cruel, heartbreaking death.
