Baniyah Shap, a 52-year-old Singaporean, was given the sentence for a variety of offences.
She pleaded guilty to seven charges, three of which relate to the stabbing: a rash act causing death, possessing a foldable knife and perverting the course of justice by washing the knife after the stabbing and hiding it.
The other four charges are unrelated to the incident and involve the relinquishing of bank accounts that were later used in scams.
Another eight charges were considered in sentencing.
