On 22 April 1972, Poon Sai Im, a 58-year-old provisions shop owner who lived in Pulau Ubin, Singapore, was ambushed by two men, who had gone from the mainland to the island to rob her of money, cigarettes and gold items. When one of Poon's attackers went into the room to look for valuables, the other attacker, 19-year-old Mohamed Yasin bin Hussin, alias Rosli, took upon himself to rape the victim and while doing so caused the elderly victim to die from fatal rib fractures (caused by Yasin sitting on top of her). Both men were eventually arrested nine months after the case and tried for murder.

  • On 22 April 1972, Poon Sai Im, a 58-year-old provisions shop owner who lived in Pulau Ubin, Singapore, was ambushed by two men, who had gone from the mainland to the island to rob her of money, cigarettes and gold items. When one of Poon's attackers went into the room to look for valuables, the other attacker, 19-year-old Mohamed Yasin bin Hussin, alias Rosli, took upon himself to rape the victim and while doing so caused the elderly victim to die from fatal rib fractures (caused by Yasin sitting on top of her). Both men were eventually arrested nine months after the case and tried for murder. Yasin was initially found guilty of murder and subjected to the death sentence (the other man was convicted of and jailed for robbery), but before he could be executed, Yasin won his appeal to the Privy Council in London. He was subsequently taken to court to be tried for rape and consequently spent ten years in prison before his release in 1983. Yasin's case was a subject of debate and question in Singapore's criminal law regarding the definition of murder under Section 300(c) of the Penal Code, in which the offence of murder constitutes one's intentional causing of fatal injuries to a person despite having no intention to kill.
