A Facebook user who claimed he was helping with police investigations described “blood everywhere” near a bus stop when he went to see someone’s cry for help.
Posting on Facebook, Pasir Ris-Punggol Parliament member Sun Xueling expressed his condolences to the victim’s loved ones.
“I spoke to (the police) this morning. (They are) reviewing the nearby camera images. We also appeal to the public if they have been in the vicinity at the time and have useful information,” Sun said.
He added that he had asked police to step up patrols in the area to address residents’ concerns about security.
