Prosecutors say that in 2015, Khaw filled a yoga ball with carbon monoxide, then left it in the trunk of his wife's car, where it slowly leaked the noxious gas and killed his wife and their 16-year-old daughter.
The BBC reported that Khaw was angry because his wife wouldn't divorce him so that he could be with a student with whom he was having an affair.
When colleagues caught Khaw filling the ball, he said he was going to use it to kill rabbits, but in his statement to police, he said the gas was to kill rats in his home.
He is charged with two counts of murder. [BBC, 8/23/2018]
