Sentenced two weeks ago to 60 years for the murder of his former partner—hospital ambulance dispatcher Melissa Skeete whom he stabbed to death, Allan Sim has appealed his conviction and sentence.
In his notice of appeal, Sim has advanced that his sentence is “unduly severe” and is hoping that the appellate court would vary it or set it aside altogether.
He contends, too, that the trial judge admitted evidence prejudicial to a fair trial while expressing the view that “the decision was against the weight of the evidence.”
