[PROSECUTOR]
“Hello Miss Siti. On the day of the murder, May 22, 2015, what was the family doing in the early morning?”

[SITI]
“I remember, Mrs. Sui-Fan took her younger daughter and son to school. After she dropped them off, she came back home to have breakfast. Around 10:00 AM, Mrs. Sui-Fan went upstairs to rest.”

[PROSECUTOR]
“And Lily? What was she doing? Didn’t she have school too?”

[SITI]
“Lily’s school was closed for a holiday, so she was at home with her parents. I recall when Mr. Gum-San was heading out, he specifically told Lily to stay home and do her homework. Don’t go anywhere else, he said.”

[PROSECUTOR]
“What time did Dr. Gum-San exit the house? Did you see him leave?”

[SITI]
“Mr. Gum-San left the house around noon. I did not personally see him leave, as I was busy doing house chores. But I heard his car going away from the driveway.”

[PROSECUTOR]
“Then what time did Sui-Fan and Lily leave the house? Did they bring anything?”

[SITI]
“Around 2:00 PM, Mrs. Sui-Fan was heading out to pick up her younger daughter and son. Lily was bored, so she decided to follow her mother to pick up her siblings. It was raining at the time as they were leaving the front door. I asked ‘Madam, do you need an umbrella?’. Mrs. Sui-Fan said ‘No, Siti, it’s alright, thank you!’. Mrs. Sui-Fan brought nothing with her.”

[PROSECUTOR]
“What about Lily? Did she bring anything with her to the Mini Cooper?”

[SITI]
“I remember, Lily followed her mother to the Mini Cooper. Her hands were both empty. Share carried nothing with her to the Mini Cooper.”

The Judge closed the case with the following statement:

“Dr. Gum-San is an intelligence and highly educated man. A figurehead in the field of science and medicine, well loved by his peers in the research circles. To learn he created such a complicated plan to murder his own wife and daughter with only a Yoga Ball and ‘CO’ has shocked not only myself – but everyone in the court room. A tragedy motivated by an affair and the dividing of monetary assets.

We are all disappointed in you, Dr. Gum-San.”
