THE fifth and final man to be convicted in Singapore's first illegal organ transplant case has been handed down a 'deterrent' jail term of eight months by a district court.
Whang Sung Lin, 45, was found guilty earlier this week for instigating his friend, Wang Chin Sing, 44, and his relative, retail magnate Tang Wee Sung, 56, to form an illegal arrangement to buy a kidney for the ailing Mr Tang last year.
The court had found that Whang, who is married to Mr Tang's niece, introduced the two men and intended to split the proceeds of the sale with Wang, who would make arrangements to procure the kidney.
