A 65-year-old man was found dead in a Balestier Road residential unit on Saturday (Nov 14) evening.
When AsiaOne reached 325 Balestier Road at about 9pm, at least five police vehicles were present at the scene, including a van used by crime scene investigation officers.
The address belongs to JW Building — a five-storey commercial and residential development — known for a bak kut teh eatery on its ground floor, behind a bus stop.
Checks by AsiaOne indicate that while the building is mainly used for commercial and retail purposes, its owner received an approval in January 2025 to convert part of a second-floor office for residential use.
Nearby stallholders and shopkeepers told AsiaOne that seeing police in the area was nothing new, though the larger turnout caught their attention. Several assumed officers were responding to a fight or an incident at a nearby budget hotel or public entertainment outlet.
Between 9pm and 10pm, AsiaOne observed crime scene specialists and plainclothes officers moving between their vehicles and the building’s front and rear ground-floor entrances.
Just after 10pm, a police hearse was seen driving into the service road linking Martaban Road and Pegu Road.
