买凶杀妻少年犯获特赦-在家庆32岁生日
2018年12月13日2018年12月13日特赦, 谋杀, 买凶杀妻 （新加坡13日讯）轰动一时的“买凶杀妻”案出现新进展，遭吕伟添教唆的15岁男生二度申请总统特赦终成功，结束17年铁窗生涯，上个月出狱，在家度过32岁生日。if(screen.width > 747){googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('R2_L'); });}if(screen.width 747){var container = document.getElementById("Underlay_Specific_L_container");var innity_span = document.createElement("span"); innity_span.id="innity-in-post";container.appendChild(innity_span); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('Underlay_Specific_L'); });} 内政部受询时证实，男生在上月2日出狱，不过须履行附带条件，包括宵禁时间、电子监督，并且将继续获得改造支援，助他回归社会。 发言人表示，男生的良好行为、改造进度、至今服刑的时间、涉及案件的环境因素等，都在给予特赦的考量范围内。 “当年的主审法官就指出，年仅15岁的男生事发时是受被告摆布，总统哈莉玛在内阁的建议下，行使了特赦权准他假释。” 男生在牢里度过逾17年铁窗生涯，本月过32岁生日，获释后终于能和家人团聚庆祝。 男生于2001年5月14日晚被吕伟添教唆，在后港9道第923座组屋电梯外，用刀杀死对方的妻子，即保险代理员梁慧敏。 控方指吕伟添是为了得到一间组屋以及4岁女儿的抚养权，而买凶杀妻。 两人在案发4天后落网，吕伟添被判死刑，在2002年12月被正法。 律师感激男生获重生机会 律师王立清对于总统给予男生的重生机会，他十分感激。 他也说，男生已从一个天真、无主见的男孩成长为具有韧劲的青年，十分积极改过，抛开过去。 “他在服刑期间表现好，成熟了不少，也一直在攻读文凭。” 媒体在限制令下不能刊登男生的姓名等资料，王立清认为，这样能帮助他融入社会，而对方这期间也不能和媒体谈话。 “他在家人朋友的支持下很努力的要融入社会，希望这份隐私能得到尊重。”
