Bus driver gets death

A private bus driver was sentenced to hang for the murder of his China-born teenage step-daughter. Ong Pang Siew, 46, was found guilty of killing 15-year-old Ong Pan Hui. The killing took place a few weeks after Pan Hui's mother, Madam Xiu Yanhong, was granted a divorce from Ong, with her getting custody of the girl and the son she bore with Ong. That afternoon, Ong had called Madam Xiu to ask where their son was but they ended up quarrelling over access to the boy. He then cycled to the Marsiling flat where Madam Xiu lived with Pan Hui and their son. The teenager was at home with two sub-tenants.An argument broke out between Ong and Pan Hui. When he started strangling her, a sub-tenant called Madam Xiu, who alerted the police.
By the time paramedics arrived,Pan Hui was dead. Police arrested Ong at the scene.
Ong was calm as the mandatory death sentence was pronounced.

I also read that the bus driver was attempting to get back on his wife for making him lost the custody of the son.
He believed that if he make the mother lost the daughter, she will be as sad as him.
Such a foolish way of thinking.
Now, he ended up in prison and most likely to be hang after the court verdict.
