On 2 November 1980, two people - 31-year-old fish dealer Lee Cheng Tiong (李正中 Lǐ Zhèngzhōng or 李清忠 Lǐ Qìngzhōng) and 16-year-old Teo Keng Siang (张庆祥 Zhāng Qìngxiáng) - were brutally murdered by an unknown assailant(s). The murders remained unsolved for two years before a suspect was finally nabbed in connection to the killings. The suspect Beh Meng Chai (白明才 Bái Míngcái), who was Malaysian, confessed that a total of three people, including himself, were responsible for the murders and gave information about the identities of his two accomplices, resulting in the arrest of Sim Min Teck (沈明德 Shěn Míngdé or 沈民德 Shěn Míndé; alias Ah Teck 德 A Dé), who was pointed out by Beh as the one who, together with the third accomplice Chng Meng Joo (庄明裕 Zhuāng Míngyù; alias Ah Yu 阿裕 A Yù), killed Teo and Lee. In the subsequent court proceedings regarding the case, Beh was sentenced to life imprisonment and 24 strokes of the cane after the prosecution reduced the double murder charges to manslaughter in view of Beh's cooperation with the police and willingness to testify in the trial of Sim, who was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death in a separate trial. As of today, the third and final suspect Chng remained on the run for the Jurong fishing port murders. Murders On the morning of 2 November 1980, an 18-year-old fishery worker discovered his boss and another boy dead inside their company office at Jurong fishing port. The deceased boss was Lee Cheng Tiong, a 31-year-old fish dealer, and the other victim was 16-year-old Teo Keng Siang, the employee of another fish dealer. It was established through the police investigations and witness accounts that Teo went to the office that day on his boss's request to pass some money in Malaysian currency to Lee, but it turned out that Lee and Teo were killed. It was also the normal practice for Lee and other fish dealers working in the area to exchange their foreign money out of their profits made from their respective fishery businesses. The police did not rule out robbery as a motive for the murder. The murders of Teo and Lee were the eighth case of murder to happen within the week itself, where seven were reported before the present case, and the police sent public appeals for information to solve these eight cases.
