SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): : An over-possessive man who could not accept that his girlfriend was seeing other men - despite their agreement to have an open relationship - was sentenced to 13 years' jail on Monday (Nov 12) for killing her during a quarrel.

Neo Chun Zheng, 29, who stabbed Soh Yuan Lin, 23, once in the neck with a folding knife outside his Boon Lay flat on Nov 26, 2015, told the High Court that words could not express his "eternal regret" for what he had done.
