Jackson Lim Hou Peng, the Singaporean man charged with the murder of his Vietnamese girlfriend in November, has been declared fit to plead in court and will be moved out of the Changi Medical Complex from tomorrow for further investigation, Channel NewsAsia reports.
The application to move him was approved by the State Courts after the prosecution presented the 40-year-old to be “not of unsound mind”.
Lim had been present when police discovered the lifeless body of 32-year-old Tran Cam Ny on the floor of a flat in Block 406 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10.
He will appear in court again on Dec. 26.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story wrote Jackson Lim was declared to be ‘of unsound mind’, as cited from CNA and Today. He is in fact, ‘not of unsound mind’ and is fit to plead in court.
