A 23-year-old man will be charged for his alleged involvement in the murder of a 68-year-old man, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) shared in a news release on Friday (Nov 14).
This follows the alleged slashing of the victim at 5000C Marine Parade Road, the address of Laguna Park condominium, the previous afternoon.
The 68-year-old man was taken in an unconscious state to Changi General hospital, where he subsequently died.
The 23-year-old man was initially arrested at scene for causing grievous bodily harm by dangerous weapons, and had two penknives seized. Preliminary investigations revealed that he purportedly had a dispute with the victim.
The accused will be charged on Nov 15 with murder under Section 302(1) of the Penal Code 1871, which carries the death penalty.
