SINGAPORE - Seven men who made their living operating illegal gambling stalls in the back lanes of Geylang pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges in the High Court on Friday.
The seven, aged between 17 and 30, were originally charged with Mr Seah Boon Lye's murder, but have agreed to plead guilty to the reduced manslaughter charges.
One other alleged attacker, Mohamad Najiman Abdul Aziz, is claiming trial to the murder charge.
The incident arose from two disputes - Mr Seah's botched purchase of illicit drugs from one of his attackers and a missing sum of $200, which was supposedly pocketed by a gang runner.
A "settlement talks" was then arranged on Feb 23, 2008. But the talks failed and a fight ensued.
The gang set upon Mr Seah, who was armed with a metal rod, with knives.
He later died of multiple injuries.
The seven - Sufian Nordin, Suhardi Ali, Muhammad Haziq Mohamed, Luo Weiqiang, Muhammad Syukur Mohamed Salleh, Toh Huang Shee and Ahmad Suhaimi Ismail - will next appear in the High Court on Feb 26 for sentencing.
They each face a maximum punishment of life imprisonment. - TODAY
