The phrase from friends to lovers, from lovers to enemies is a prime example here.
23-year-old Jamie Chen Xin Yi was sentenced to 4 months jail after slashing her married lover with a penknife leaving a 22cm wound that required 29 stitches.
The incident happened back on 17 September 2017, Randy Lee Teck Choon, the 42-year-old victim refused to follow the Jamie on a trip to China. The flight to China was due on the 18th of September 2019.
A day before the trip, Randy told Jamie that he will not be going as he is low on cash and an argument soon started. They were on the road in a vehicle when the argument started. Randy drove Jamie to Woodlands Avenue 6 Blk 759, she scratched his car with a penknife and later slashed him on the chest.
The two had an affair that lasted around two years, during the two year period, Jamie harrassed Randy’s wife in a bid to force the wife to leave Randy by divorcing. The married couple has since filed for divorce.
She filed an appeal against her 4-month-old sentence after failing to get a probation sentence.
