As he tailed them, he would fantasise about stabbing them in the back and touching their breasts. Unfortunately for four women, over eight months in 2010 the gruesome fantasy became a reality.
The fourth woman he knifed - Ms Hoe Hong Lin, 32, mother of two young children - died. Soh Wee Kian, 23, a full-time national serviceman (NSF), was later tracked down by police and charged with her murder.
On Sept 22, 2010, Soh decided to follow Ms Hoe as he was attracted to her looks. He trailed her, taking the glove out of his pocket and putting it on his left hand.
As Ms Hoe walked along the pavement and was about to reach a basketball court, he took out the knife, took off the plastic sheath and threw it to the ground.
Sometime between 10.30pm and 10.53pm, Soh came up from behind Ms Hoe, covered her mouth with his left hand and stabbed her in the right lower back with the knife.
He pulled out the knife and Ms Hoe fell screaming. He stabbed her several more times with the knife, including once in the chest, near the heart.
As she lay dying, Soh tried to cover her mouth to prevent her from shouting and drawing attention. He also thought of touching her breasts, but she grabbed both his hands. He shook his hands away from her and ran off.
When Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedics arrived at about 11pm, Ms Hoe was already dead.
He pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a reduced charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and a charge of voluntarily causing grievous hurt to another woman, Ms How Poh Ling, who had been the third victim in his series of attacks.
Charges from two other attacks in January and February that year were taken into consideration.
