Dragons surround a tragic midnight spell in Sengkang
It was a chill Thursday night when 31‑year‑old Tan Qiu Yan‑she‑niggin found herself in the dough‑nuts of a murder indictment. The target? Her 67‑year‑old dad, Mr. Tan Ah Bang, who was discovered in the 15th‑floor apartment of Block 190A Rivervale Drive, South‑Kong, all bruised and out of breath.
What the police saw
- Scenario: The SCDF paramedic declared Mr. Tan dead upon arrival at 5.30 AM.
- The arrest took place right there, where the aged man lay.
- Five heavy‑handed police cars, a forensic van, and a cordon made the scene look like a movie set.
- While the officers chatted with neighbours, some were rummaging through the rubbish chute – a pair of cleaners and a trio of cops, making sure the garbage didn’t hide any clues.
Keeping the drama under wraps
Tan, who breezed into the courtroom via video link at 10 AM wearing a bright red tee, a blue mask, and glasses, kept her head low. She didn’t have a lawyer on board and will be due back on Nov 11 for the next act.
The legal cliffhanger
In Singapore, if you find yourself on the wrong side of a murder scene, you’re staring at the death penalty. That’s a nudge from the judicial system to keep everyone on their toes.
