assistance despite a severe stroke, but he lost the will to even leave his wheelchair since his wife's brutal murder, according to Loo's 44-year-old daughter Chang Kuang Nam, who stated that her father spent his time smoking and sometimes even asked where his wife was. Kuang Nam also stated that during the week before the verdict, the Chang family were unable to bring themselves to enjoy their reunion dinner due to Loo's death and absence from the Chinese New Year occasion. Execution On 17 April 1995, Indra appealed against his death sentence and conviction, once again asking for the murder charge be reduced on the grounds that he was intoxicated by both the Dormicum pills and alcohol and thus was not fully himself at the time of the robbery and killing. However, the Chief Justice (CJ) Yong Pung How, who was similarly prescribed some Dormicum pills after a heart surgery and had personally experienced the pills' effects, stated that it was not possible for Indra to be severely intoxicated to the point of impairing his mental responsibility. CJ Yong and the other two judges therefore unanimously dismissed the appeal, after they found that Indra was clearly aware of the magnitude of his actions and thus he should be held fully culpable for murdering 80-year-old Loo Kwee Hwa. On 29 September 1995, seven months after he was convicted for Loo's murder, 23-year-old Indra Wijaya Ibrahim was hanged at dawn in Changi Prison. On the same morning itself, a Thai woman named Navarat Maykha, who was convicted in the high-profile trafficking of 3.184 kg of heroin, was also scheduled to hang at the same prison as Indra. In the aftermath, Crimewatch re-enacted the Bedok North lift murder case and it aired in December 1996 as the tenth and final episode of the show's annual season.
