A Singapore court on Tuesday sentenced a South Korean tourist to four months in prison for poisoning a woman by adding a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction to her bubble tea drink as “revenge.”
Kim Donghun, 33, pleaded guilty to causing injury by poison, according to Strait Timesadding that he “couldn’t control his emotions.”
According to the indictment, Kim had a passion for photography and took photos of people surfing at a sports facility.
On November 28 last year, Kim took photos of the victim and showed them with her.
However, the woman was upset that he took her photos without permission and walked away from him, leaving him angry.
The indictment reveals he went to the table where the woman had placed her belongings, including a bubble tea drink. He then dissolved a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction in water, before pouring the mixture into the bubble tea.
After the woman drank it, she felt dizzy and found a white powder on the plastic lid.

He admitted to police that he had purchased erectile dysfunction drugs online for his own use, Today online reported.
The medicine Kim used can cause headaches and nausea and is a listed poison, according to the Health Sciences Authority.
