Another youth, 22-year-old Seah Tze Howe, was approached by Ler to kill his wife. Like Gavin, Tze Howe also realised that Ler was serious about it when he was invited to Ler's flat one night, where he was offered $100,000 to commit the murder. Ler said he would be selling the flat and use the money from the proceeds to pay him. Tze Howe then suggested Ler to hire a professional killer to carry out the murder. Ler later told him that he could not find anyone to do it.
