Posted on 26 April 2024 | 724 views | 3 commentsOn April 25, a High Court judge found him guilty of murdering Mr Satheesh Noel Gobidass, 31, at about 6.25am on July 2, 2019.
Tan’s lawyers had argued that another member of his group, Mr Chan Jia Xing, was captured on surveillance footage with a black item in his hand. Justice Abdullah also rejected defence arguments that Tan should be convicted of the lesser offence of culpable homicide because he had mental conditions that diminished his responsibility for his acts.
At about 6.20am, his group got into a dispute with another group of patrons, which included Mr Muhammad Fairus Muhammad Ali.Tan could be seen waving a karambit knife in the surveillance footage. One of the security officers, Mr B. Barathkrishnan, suffered a cut on his finger. As the two groups continued scuffling, Mr Fairus’ face was slashed.
In the ensuing fight, Tan punched Mr Satheesh in the face three times while holding the knife. Tan’s companions punched and kicked the victim before they fled the scene.
