Tan Jek He, 23, was worried that he would get into further trouble as he had just been released from prison.
SINGAPORE – A man who was just released from prison assaulted another man and lied to the police that he had retaliated because the victim had molested his girlfriend.
Tan Jek He, 23, was sentenced to eight weeks’ jail on March 11 after pleading guilty to assaulting the victim and conspiring to provide false information to the police. Tan will have to spend an additional 40 days behind bars as he was out on remission when he committed the two offences he pleaded guilty to. Tan reoffended less than two weeks after he was released.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Vincent Ong said the victim, a 35-year-old Bangladeshi man, was walking along Lavender Street on Aug 11 when he saw Tan and his girlfriend, Tan Qiu Yan, 24, walking towards him.
