The ringleader of a violent gang clash at Downtown East a decade ago appears to have run afoul of the law again.
Yesterday, Stilwell Ong Keat Pin, now 28, was slapped with a cheating by personation charge.
Prosecuting officer Lim Hian Teck told the court that the accused is believed to also be involved in other drug and traffic offences.
Investigations are ongoing, and Ong may face additional charges for these offences later.
Ong was jailed in 2012 for 12 years and given 12 strokes of the cane after being convicted of culpable homicide.
He was involved in a widely reported gang clash at Downtown East in 2010 that led to the death of polytechnic student Darren Ng Wei Jie, 19.
The fight involved two rival gangs who had armed themselves for a settlement talk outside a fast-food outlet.
The clash happened on a Saturday evening in front of terrified members of the public.
Ong later admitted to starting the fight and slashing Mr Ng with a chopper.
Mr Ng died in hospital some five hours later with 28 wounds to his head, neck, chest and limbs.
