SINGAPORE – A 20-year-old Singaporean man has been arrested in connection with a suspected murder of a jogger in Punggol Field.
He will be charged in court on Sunday ( May 17).
The suspect is expected to be charged with murder, which carries the death penalty.
The police identified and arrested the man on Saturday (May 16) at 2.45am following round-the-clock investigations, extensive ground inquiries and review of closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect is not known to the victim and is believed to have acted alone.
Last Sunday, Mr Tay Rui Hao, 38, was jogging in the area when he was stabbed near the bus stop in Punggol Field, opposite Block 227A Sumang Lane.
A resident heard Mr Tay’s cries for help and saw him struggling to the bus stop, where he collapsed on a grass patch.
Mr Tay then told the resident that he had been attacked and was losing his breath.
The resident called the police, and Mr Tay was sent to Sengkang General Hospital.
