In the above case of Kho Jabing, the majority three of the five judges were satisfied that Kho Jabing, who had used a tree branch to attack Cao and bashed his head repeatedly (which resulted into a completely shattered skull that caused Cao to die from a coma six days after the killing), had demonstrated both a blatant disregard for human life and viciousness while killing Cao Ruyin, and Kho's actions were such that it outraged the feelings of the community. Due to this, Kho was once again given the death penalty and he was eventually hanged on 20 May 2016.
