days later at the Woodlands Checkpoint on his way back to Singapore.
It was revealed during an investigation that Loh had intruded into the temple in order to commit burglary, but after he failed to steal anything and was about to leave, he was caught red-handed by Tan, causing Loh to panic and use the hammer to assault Tan, who died from a crushed voice box. Originally charged with murdering Tan, Loh pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter and another unrelated charge of burglary in January 2018, and he was sentenced to imprisonment for 14 years and given six strokes of the cane.
