Description

Two Singaporeans, Tony Tan Poh Chuan and Tay Chow Lyang who were studying at the University of New South Wales in Sydney were brutally murdered in their apartment in 2003. They had been stabbed and beaten to death. Their housemate and fellow Singaporean Ram Tiwary was arrested for their murders. Although he told the court he was asleep in his room at the time, he was subsequently found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole in 2006. The case went through a retrial in 2009 but the verdict was the same. In 2012 the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal overturned the earlier conviction and he was released after spending 8 years in jail.Ram Tiwary returned to Singapore in 2012 following his release. Although a free man, the memories as well as the experience of the 99 months of incarceration still continue to haunt him today. This is Ram Tiwary's story of the events on the day of the murders, the two trials, life in prison and the appeal process until his acquittal.
