Murder Suspect Returns to Ang Mo Kio Flat Under Police Escort

A 66-year-old Singaporean man, Ng Chen Heng, charged with the murder of 67-year-old Lim Suan Lian, was escorted back to the crime scene at Block 125 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 on Tuesday morning, January 21. The alleged murder occurred between November 27 and 29, 2024. Ng was formally charged with the crime on November 30.

Arriving in a white van at 9:07 a.m., Ng was dressed in a red polo shirt and dark shorts, with his arms and legs secured in black restraints. Five plain-clothes officers accompanied him as they escorted him up to the fourth floor of the block, where the alleged crime took place.

To facilitate the investigation, the police set up a cordon spanning eight residential units near the scene. Uniformed officers were stationed at both ends of the cordon to secure the area and ensure privacy for the ongoing investigation. Ng and the officers spent more than two hours inside the unit before he was escorted back into the van and taken away.

The incident has left neighbours in the area deeply shaken. Several residents recalled frequent arguments between Ng and Lim, and some shared that Ng had been locked out of the house multiple times in the past.

The charge of murder is a serious offence in Singapore, carrying the mandatory death penalty upon conviction. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities meticulously piecing together evidence to build the case against Ng.

This tragic case has sparked conversations about domestic relationships and the importance of early intervention in disputes to prevent violence. While details surrounding the motive remain unclear, the incident serves as a grim reminder of the potential consequences of unresolved conflicts.

Neighbours in the close-knit Ang Mo Kio community remain shocked and saddened by the incident. Many hope for justice to be served while calling for greater awareness of support systems for individuals in troubled situations.

As investigations progress, the authorities are working to establish a clear sequence of events leading up to the alleged crime, bringing closure to a case that has gripped the attention of the public.
