Natalie Siow Yu Zhen’s found herself splashed across various news sites after a man was murdered in the Orchard Towers stabbing incident in July 2019.

Here’s a short recollection of what happened:

  • A man was found lying motionless in a pool of blood at the entrance of Orchard Towers.
  • A video of a fight was later leaked online. It showed a man staggering before collapsing in front of an escalator after a fight. Onlookers then checked on him.
  • The victim died at Tan Tock Seng Hospital an hour later.
  • One of the men, Tan Sen Yang was in possession of a foldable “Kerambit” Knife on 2 July at Naughty Girl Club in Orchard Towers, which is the alleged murder weapon.

Woman Involved To Get Murder Charge Reduced; Will Not Face The Gallows

Turns out, a recent ‘update’ on the fatal incident has just been revealed.

But first, you must be wondering about this. She didn’t actually do the stabbing, so why was she suddenly so infamous?

Well, we speculated that it was because she was the only girl in the group.

Also, if you look carefully, she has mad flying kick skillz. So much that even her slipper was sent flying.

All that kicking aside, in a rather expected turn of events (because three of the seven involved also had their murder charges reduced), Siow has also had her charged reduced.

According to TODAYOnline, She will no longer be facing the death penalty. Instead, she will be charged with voluntarily causing hurt.

If convicted, Siow will face a maximum sentence of two years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

Unexpected Turn Of Events For Siow

Siow burst into tears as she heard the news. Up until then, she didn’t know why she was being called back to court last Friday, 18 October.

Her lawyer told TODAYOnline, “Before the judge came out, she was wondering what she was doing in court. She had no idea what was going on.”

Her amended charges now detail that she had kicked and punched the victim together with Tan Sen Yang, 28, Joel Tan Yun Sheng, 26, and Ang Da Yuan, 26.

These three will continue to face the murder charge.

Siow was offered bail of $15,000. She left the State Court at around 6pm with her father and a family friend.

Her case will be mentioned again on 25 October.

Here’s a simplified summary of the South Korea martial law that even a 5-year-old would understand:
