found Lee's body with 15 cut and stab wounds in his upper body, including a fatal double stab wound in the neck. His service revolver was missing. The taxi driver, Chew Theng Hin, was also found dead with a stab wound in the abdomen. The three men were quickly arrested with the help of Constable Siew, who happened to be at the scene and spotted two of them behaving suspiciously soon after the murders. They were subsequently convicted for the murder of Lee and Chew and hanged on 24 February 1984. Aftermath The murder of Lee made front-page news in relatively crime-free Singapore, and was particularly noted for the speed in which the case was solved. The case appeared in a compilation of notable crimes in a 1987 publication, 999 True Cases from the CID, and was re-enacted in a television drama, True Files in 2002. Publication The robbery, kidnapping and murder of Lee was considered as a notable crime that shook Singapore. In July 2015, Singapore's national daily newspaper The Straits Times published a e-book titled Guilty As Charged: 25 Crimes That Have Shaken Singapore Since 1965, which included the case as one of the top 25 crimes that shocked the nation since its independence in 1965. The book was borne out of collaboration between the Singapore Police Force and the newspaper itself.
