Boon Tat Street death: Man jailed 8 years for killing son-in-law

While waiting for the police to arrive, Tan phoned his daughter to tell her what he had done.

The High Court heard that he was unhappy with how Mr Tuppani had treated his daughter and believed that it was part of a plan to cheat him of his business. Defence counsel Wee Pan Lee sought 7½ years' jail, arguing that Tan's sentence should not be more than a life imprisonment, given his life expectancy.His three daughters worked for the business, and so did Mr Tuppani, who married Tan's eldest daughter Shyller in 2005.In 2016, the company was sold to a bigger corporation and Mr Tuppani was appointed chief executive officer.

In early 2017, Ms Tan found out that Mr Tuppani was having an affair with another woman, with whom he had two children. After Tan's younger daughter Sherry was suspended from the company on July 4, 2017, he believed that Mr Tuppani planned to cheat him of his business by divorcing Ms Shyller Tan after taking control of all their shares.
