Singapore Man Tries to Frame Wife with Cannabis, Receives Prison Sentence
Singapore Man's Devious Plan
In a disturbing incident, Tan Xianglong, a 37-year-old Singapore man, attempted to frame his wife by depositing cannabis in her vehicle. Aware that drug possession could lead to severe penalties, such as death penalty, Tan's actions were driven by anger over perceived financial contributions in their marriage.
His Failed Scheme
Despite hiring a private detective to gather evidence against his wife, he resorted to his own drastic measures after failing to find anything incriminating. Conducting online research about the penalties for drug trafficking, he discovered that possessing more than 500 grams of cannabis could result in the death penalty in Singapore, prompting his ill-fated plan.
- Tan purchased cannabis from the black market.
- He weighed it, discovering it weighed 510 grams, exceeding the critical limit.
- Tan at first thought he had created a flawless plan.
However, once the police searched the vehicle, only 216.17 grams of pure cannabis were identified, and further investigation led to Tan's arrest, proving the futility of his scheme.
