The Woodlands double murders were the murders of pregnant housewife Choong Pei Shan (钟佩珊 Zhōng Peìshān) and her daughter Teo Zi Ning (张梓宁 Zhāng Zǐníng) by her husband Teo Ghim Heng (张锦兴 Zhāng Jĭnxīng) on 20 January 2017. The murders, which took place in their Woodlands flat in Singapore, were supposedly committed due to Teo and his wife arguing with each other about their financial difficulties and during the argument, Teo was provoked by Choong's insults and thus strangled her with a towel, before he killed his daughter Zi Ning. The murder of Choong had also effectively made Teo responsible for murdering his unborn son; Choong was six months' pregnant when her husband killed her.

| - The Woodlands double murders were the murders of pregnant housewife Choong Pei Shan (钟佩珊 Zhōng Peìshān) and her daughter Teo Zi Ning (张梓宁 Zhāng Zǐníng) by her husband Teo Ghim Heng (张锦兴 Zhāng Jĭnxīng) on 20 January 2017. The murders, which took place in their Woodlands flat in Singapore, were supposedly committed due to Teo and his wife arguing with each other about their financial difficulties and during the argument, Teo was provoked by Choong's insults and thus strangled her with a towel, before he killed his daughter Zi Ning. The murder of Choong had also effectively made Teo responsible for murdering his unborn son; Choong was six months' pregnant when her husband killed her. For the next eight days, Teo tried to mask the deaths of his wife and daughter from his family and tried ways to kill himself, but on 28 January 2017, also the first day of Lunar Chinese New Year, Teo's crime was discovered upon a police report and a simultaneous house visit made by Choong's brother who suspected the absence of his sister and niece. Teo was later arrested, tried and found guilty of the murders, and sentenced to capital punishment by hanging, and lost his appeal against the verdict. Teo is currently on death row in Changi Prison, pending his appeal for clemency. In light of the case of Seet Cher Hng, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in September 2021 for the murder of his ex-wife at ITE College Central, the Woodlands family murders case was also recalled as one of the most significant four cases of murders committed within families in recent years.
