Chia Gek Yong, 73, cried as he pleaded guilty today to causing death by committing a rash act not amounting to culpable homicide.
Claiming that he had to kill the bed bugs he saw on his bed, Chia took several insecticide cans he had on his bed to spray the mattress.
Despite this, Chia claimed that the bed bugs were still not dead and he went on to use several lighters to set his mattress on fire, said Deputy Public Prosecutor R Arvindren.
