SINGAPORE: A 31-year-old businessman who held his father in a chokehold till he lost consciousness and died was on Thursday (Jun 8) convicted of causing his death by a rash act.
This is the second time Mark Tan Peng Liat’s charge has been reduced. He was initially accused of murder, but it was amended to the lesser charge of culpable homicide. The conviction on the latest charge is an acknowledgement that he never intended to kill his 67-year-old father Tan Kok Keng, or had knowledge that wrapping his arm around the elderly man’s neck would result in his death.
The court heard during a nine-day trial that there is “no doubt” Tan’s intention was to restrain his father, who had assaulted him after they got into an argument. The elder Tan had on Feb 10, 2015, called his son home and accused him of stealing his money.
Tan had indeed admitted to making several withdrawals from a joint back account he held with his father and sister.
During the argument, the elder Tan punched his son and in response, Tan put his father in a chokehold..... CUT
