441:. Among the circumstantial evidence, there was evidence showing that Oh forged an alibi. Despite the fact that he was seen driving the school bus Liang last boarded before her disappearance, Oh denied that he was there at the time Liang left the school, and he claimed at around 1:00 PM, he was at a friend's workshop fixing the faulty brakes of his school bus. This alibi was first presented to Liang's father when he suspected and confronted Oh during the twelve days before the discovery of his daughter's corpse. However, the mechanic, Tan Eng Dee, testified in court that Oh did go to his workshop on that day to repair his school bus, but he came at 9:00 AM instead of 1:00 PM. Not only that, Oh was able to lead the police investigators to the location where Liang's school bag and textbooks were abandoned, which were a short distance from where her corpse was discovered, providing another connection between Oh and Liang's death.
742:, a hawker who was executed in 1982 for murdering Phoon Ah Leong and Phoon's mother Hu Yuen Keng, were discussed in the aftermath of Oh's re-trial as the iconic cases that proved how Singapore's criminal law made it difficult for the guilty to go free, based on the established legal principles of drawing an adverse inference from the defendant's decision to remain silent and the prosecution's right to proceed a case against the suspect based on any tangible evidence to back the charge. Oh's case was also crucial to helping Thai construction worker Somporn Chinpakdhee to escape both the murder charge and death penalty for the unsolved killing of his colleague Kulap Nophakhun, as the circumstantial evidence against Somporn was not strong enough to convict him of murder, which resulted in the courts acquitting Somporn in November 1994.

witnesses to his defence. Although Oh's lawyer
Ramesha Pillai argued that the whole of evidence fell short of the legal requirements to substantiate a charge of murder, citing the prosecution's lack of direct evidence to show that Liang's death was caused by unlawful violence, DPP Jennifer Marie rebutted that Oh was able to lead the police to the area where the victim's belongings were found; he had tried to establish a false alibi; had told lies to Liang's parents and friends to distance himself from any guilt related to Liang's death; and Oh's attempt to persuade trial witnesses to lie that Liang never boarded his bus that day. For this, the prosecution pursued a guilty verdict of murder in Oh's case. The verdict was reserved till 3 May 1994.

While most aspects of the case were faithful to the real-life events of Liang's murder, the names of Liang, Oh and the trial witnesses were changed to protect their identities and for dramatic purposes; for example, Liang's name was changed to Chan Mei Shan while Oh's name was changed to Toh Lai Boon. Actress Chan Jia Jing portrayed the murder victim, while the actor who portrayed the school bus driver was uncredited.

Professor Chao could not tell whether it was a suicide, murder or accident due to the highly-advanced state of decomposition and the fact that some body parts were missing.

There were no strong signs of sexual assault due to the high state of decomposition, though her skirt did indicate signs of being forcibly pulled by someone.

many lawyers who paid attention to the case and its unusual nature. Legal experts analyzed Oh's case and stated that while the right to remain silent was a valid legal option in
Singapore, it deprived a defendant of the chance to rebut the prosecution's case and the judge is allowed to make an adverse inference from the defendant's silence, which may potentially cause a defendant to be found guilty of whichever crime he was charged for in a court of law.

First-hand reports revealed that several body parts of the victim were scattered around the area, which was frequently used by military conscripts for training, and it was speculated that the victim had been dead for about twelve days.
