SINGAPORE - A recalcitrant offender, who has been in and out of jail multiple times for offences including drug and violence-related ones, was sentenced to 12 years’ preventive detention on Tuesday after attacking two people with a knife.
Despite this, he reoffended in June 2022 and used a knife to attack two people, including his former flatmate. Before committing the knife attack, he had rented a flat in Yishun with a 62-year-old Singaporean man and also began a relationship with a woman known only as Tuti.In earlier proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor Matthew Choo said that the suspicions were unfounded.On June 23, 2022, Abdul Karim returned home at about 8.20pm after consuming alcohol and methamphetamine.
When they reached the flat on the 10th storey, they noticed the lights were on and assumed Abdul Karim was inside.The couple later saw a police car near the block and assumed the police were engaging Abdul Karim. The pair then took a lift to the flat.
