SINGAPORE - A former police officer who was convicted of the 2013murder of a father and his son in Kovan was hanged on Feb 5.

The Singapore Police Force said the capital sentence was imposed on Iskandar Rahmat, 46, whose petitions to the president for clemency were unsuccessful.

Iskandar was sentenced on Dec 4, 2015 to hang, after he was convicted of the murder of Mr Tan Boon Sin, 67, and his elder son, Mr Tan Chee Heong, 42, at the senior Tan’s Hillside Drive house on the afternoon of July 10, 2013.

He appealed against his conviction and sentence, but the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal on Feb 3, 2017.

The police said: “Capital punishment is imposed only for the most serious crimes, including murder.”
