SINGAPORE: A 21-year-old Singaporean was charged on Wednesday (May 13) after a man was found stabbed multiple times to his head and body.

Edmund Kam Wei Liang was accused of voluntarily causing serious injury to Teo Jia Wei, 26, using a knife, leaving the victim with “severe bleeding”.


Court documents allege that Kam and another man, Teo Shou Ren, 28, stabbed Teo on Sunday night in a small garden in front of Blk 452 Jurong West Street 42.

The two men reportedly stabbed Mr. Teo “several times in his body and head with a knife” that “could cause death”.

Online photos showed a man in a garden sitting in a pool of blood. Another man was seen walking away from the injured victim.

Kam has been referred and will return to court on May 20.

If found guilty, he faces up to 15 years in prison. You could also be fined, punished, or both.

Teo Shou Ren, the other man named in the court documents, has not been charged.
