SHE resented her mother-in-law, whom she blamed for her unhappiness and jealousy. IN TEARS: Madam Ng Bee Hion was seen crying in a car after her youngest son was stabbed to death. --PICTURE: LIANHE WANBAO But Wu Yun Yun, 26, chose not to harm Madam Ng Bee Hion, 63. Instead, she attacked Madam Ng's son, Mr Tan Lead Sane, 33, and his wife, Madam Huang Meizhe, 36. This was because she wanted Madam Ng to suffer the pain of seeing her loved ones hurt, according to court papers. Yesterday, Wu, a Singapore permanent resident, pleaded guilty to manslaughter for killing Mr Tan and attempted manslaughter for injuring Madam Huang. Monitor mental state Justice Kan Ting Chiu adjourned the case for six months to allow psychiatrist George Joseph Fernandez to monitor Wu's mental state before he passes sentence. The senior consultant psychiatrist at the Institute of Mental Health said that he needed time to see if Wu's mental condition would improve. Wu, a housewife, was represented by Mr Subhas Anandan and Mr Sunil Sudheesan. The court heard that she was jealous of Mr Tan, a computer engineer, and Madam Huang. She felt that unlike her, the couple was living a blessed life with love and strong support from Madam Ng. Wu began harbouring thoughts of killing either Mr Tan or Madam Huang. For several weeks, she struggled with these thoughts. Then, in early June last year, she bought a fruit knife from a market in Lorong Ah Soo for $2.50, intending to use it to carry out her plan. When she got home, she hid it in a styrofoam box which was placed under the kitchen sink. Wu decided to strike on 28 Jun. She chose to do it on a Saturday because she knew that her husband, Mr Tan Lead Shake, 40, a senior network administrator, would be at home and could take care of their two children following the attack. The plan was to do it during the early hours of the morning, while the couple was sleeping in their bedroom on the second storey of the house. The night before, Wu took the knife from the box and hid it on top of her wardrobe in her bedroom, also on the second storey. She went to bed at 10pm. Wu woke up at about 5.30am the next day and retrieved the knife. She then walked to the couple's bedroom, which was not locked. Madam Huang was sleeping on the bed with her 2-month-old son while Mr Tan was asleep on a makeshift bed at the balcony. Wu walked towards Madam Huang and called out her name before stabbing her twice on her neck. Madam Huang shouted for her husband, who woke and sat up on the bed. Wu lunged at him and stabbed him twice in his chest and once in his abdomen. Madam Huang tried to stop Wu in vain, then left the room to seek help from Mr Tan Lead Shake, who called the police when he saw his brother lying in a pool of blood. Meanwhile, Wu left the couple's bedroom and went downstairs. She took her jacket, umbrella and wallet from the kitchen before trying to flee. Wu went to the front gate but could not remember the number combination for the lock. She then ran to the back of the house and climbed over a gate. Madam Ng had tried to stop her and suffered some cuts during the brief struggle. Wu threw the knife into a drain as she ran off. Mr Tan and Madam Huang were taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Madam Huang underwent an emergency operation. Wu walked to Serangoon Shopping Centre, where she washed the bloodstains off her body using water from a drain behind the centre. After changing out of her bloodstained T-shirt into the jacket, she took a bus to Toa Payoh Central, where she discarded her T-shirt and socks. She then walked around aimlessly until a passer-by told her that her pants were torn at the back. Buy new clothes As the shops were not open yet, Wu took a taxi to the market at Block 105, Hougang Avenue 1, to buy new clothes. She then changed before taking a bus to Bugis Junction, where she wandered aimlessly again. Wu called her husband from a public phone around 12.15pm. He persuaded her to surrender and she said she would wait for him at the National Library building at Victoria Street. About an hour later, her husband, accompanied by police officers, arrived there and she was arrested. Madam Huang, also a Singapore permanent resident, was in hospital for more than a week. The mother of two has since recovered.
