Sunny Ang murdered Girl Friend
Tuesday, 18th May 1965
Singapore Grand Prix driver Sunny Ang was sentenced to death in the High Court for the murder at sea of bar girl Jenny Cheok Cheng Kid. The case was the first murder trial in local legal history in which a person was convicted solely on circumstantial evidence. Ang took Cheok scuba diving off Sisters Island. He told police Cheok's lifeline snapped; her body was never found. Ang had taken substantial insurance on Cheok three hours before the trip and he made his claims within 24 hours after her death.
