Following the now-infamous stabbing case that resulted in the death of 25-year-old Malaysian Xie Zhiyu outside a nightclub at Johor Bahru and saw two Singaporean suspects being arrested, along with a Malaysian woman; new information have since emerged regarding the background of the case.
According to several reports, the murder allegedly centres around the Malaysian woman, Yang Yiwen.
Broke up with Fu & slept with Xie
Yang was purportedly in a relationship with the murder suspect, 26-year-old Fu Yiming, and they allegedly got into an argument and broke up.
She then declared that she was single and went to the nightclub to seek solace and have fun.
The deceased, Xie, met the girl and they soon slept together, after she allegedly told him that she was single and was not seeing anyone.
Patched back with Fu
Weeks later, Yang got back together with her ex-boyfriend, the murder suspect Fu, and she allegedly claimed that Xie had molested her.
She then allegedly demanded a compensation of RM5,000 from Xie as well as letting them slap him 3 times. Fu then threatened the deceased if he didn’t agree to their terms.
Fu also allegedly said that he was a wanted man in Singapore and was not afraid to “add a few more charges” to his name.
Night of the murder
The deceased then asked them to give him one day to prepare himself, purportedly agreeing to their demands. However, when the deceased went to pick up his car later that night; Fu, who had purportedly been on drugs, then confronted him and stabbed him repeatedly with the knife.
The deceased then attempted to escape and sat down on a chair but due to the severity of his wounds; he was stabbed 9 times across his body, he succumbed to his injuries and slumped onto the ground, dying.
It all then culminated in the car crash of the suspects’ Singapore-registered Audi into the fence near the Istana Besar, before the trio were arrested and tested positive for methamphetamine, and linked to the murder.
