poster boys

In the Straits Times today the two prettiest faces on its pages are those of Michael McCrea and Ram Puneet Tiwary. Both are poster boys material. I must say they both look so charming and disarming that no one would believe such pretty faces could belong to two vicious murderers. Both have something in common, killing two people each. And both spent time in Australian prisons. And both will be saved from the death penalty, protected by Australia's humane laws that are very caring for criminals.

  1. I wonder what will happen to Ram when he finishes his sentence in Au and gets deported back to SG. Can the Singapore authorities again charge him with murder and if convicted gets sentenced to death ?

  2. There have been suggestions that Ram had a homosexual relationship with one of his victims. Anyone knows if it's true ?

  3. No, as under the rules of natural justice, no judgement should be placed on the same crime.

  4. hi w,

    welcome to the blog.

    agree with you that you cannot charge a person twice for the same offence. but he will definitely be dismissed from the SAF. But whether he could be charged for misconduct is now academic.

  5. what, you mean he hasn't already been dismissed ?

  6. i think he should have been dismissed after the guilty findings.

    now would the guarantor for his scholarship be made to pay back for the money paid to him?

  7. Just goes to show how deranged some of those SAF regulars can be. Frightening indeed.
