Yishun triple murders: Wang Zhijian kills 3 women at Block 349

On the night of 18 September 2008, Wang Zhijian, a 42-year-old Chinese national, killed three women in a rented sixth-floor flat at Block 349 Yishun Avenue 11. After a quarrel with his lover Zhang Meng over money for crabs, he stabbed her more than 40 times, then killed her 17-year-old daughter Feng Jianyu, who entered the room. He then attacked the two tenants in the next bedroom, fatally cutting the fingers of Yang Jie, 36, as she clung to bamboo pole holders outside the kitchen window, causing her to fall six storeys to her death. Yang's 15-year-old daughter Li Meilin survived multiple wounds and became the sole surviving witness. The High Court convicted Wang of murdering Yang in 2012; the Court of Appeal in 2014 dismissed his appeal and convicted him of all three murders, affirming the death sentence.
