AS HER son lay in a pool of his own blood in a bedroom, Madam Gan Chai Min tried frantically to staunch the bleeding from his neck.
But her desperate efforts were in vain - Mr Ng Yao Cheng, 26, died soon after.
Her youngest son was then arrested by police for allegedly murdering his older brother after they got into an argument that turned deadly.
After the fracas, Madam Gan sent her domestic helper to get help at the guardhouse of their Choa Chu Kang condominium.
The young Indonesian helper in her 20s, shouted "Help! Help!" as she ran past the swimming pool to reach the security officers.
Her loud cries roused a security officer who was sleeping in the cleaner's room at the clubhouse.
When security officer Thinesh Muniady got to Madam Gan's apartment, he saw her wailing and pressing her son's shirt to his wound to stop blood from streaming out.
"Her other son was standing outside the door and looking all panicky," said the 25-year-old security officer, who was the first to arrive at the scene.
"There were only the mother and the maid at home when the stabbing happened," he told The Straits Times. "The father was not home. He came back later after the police had arrived."
The police were called in at 11pm on Monday.
Apart from the security officer, Madam Gan's youngest son Ng Yao Wei, 21 - also known as Cedric - had called the police as well, informing them that a murder had taken place at their Windermere condominium home.
Police arrived and found Mr Ng Yao Cheng lying motionless in one of the three bedrooms.
He was subsequently pronounced dead by paramedics at 11.16pm.
His injury is believed to have been inflicted by a knife. Officers then arrested Ng Yao Wei.
The Straits Times learnt that the two brothers had not been on good terms. It is not known what the siblings were arguing about on Monday evening.
Mr Thinesh said that the youngest son did not put up any struggle when he was arrested.
He is believed to have suffered injuries and was taken to a hospital while his older brother's body was still in the apartment.
At around midnight, a neighbour's maid said she heard Madam Gan's cries when she woke up to use the bathroom.
"The woman cried non-stop and she sounded so pitiful. I could hear her running in and out of her flat, but I didn't dare to open my door to check," said the Indonesian, who declined to be named.
"The cries got louder and more people joined in. I heard a man and another woman crying together in their garden" next door.
There are four units on the ground floor of the block. Madam Gan's two other neighbours said they were sound asleep and did not hear any commotion that night. The neighbours described the Gan family as quiet but friendly. They kept to themselves.
Madam Gan, 61, runs a hair salon while her husband, Mr Ng Soon Guan, 63, is a taxi driver. The couple have three sons.
Neighbours said they seldom see the eldest son, aged 29, as he is said to be living overseas.
The couple's youngest son, who was arrested, had recently completed a diploma course at Singapore Polytechnic. His excellent results had put him on the Director's Honour Roll during his second year. Previously, he had attended the Institute of Technical Education College Central.
A police hearse arrived and removed Mr Ng Yao Cheng's body from the apartment at about 3.30am. Police have classified the case as murder, and investigations are ongoing.
Background story
'HE SAID HE WAS ALWAYS ARGUING WITH FAMILY'
JUST hours before Mr Ng Yao Cheng was allegedly killed by his own brother, he was telling a friend about the arguments he had back home.
"He was saying that he was always arguing with his family about stuff," said Ms Er Anqi, 25. "I was telling him that he had to control his temper, and he said that he would try. I didn't know it would be so serious."
Ms Er, a motion graphics designer, is also probably one of the last few people to see Mr Ng alive.
The duo had met for dinner in the Orchard Road area on Monday night, and parted ways at about 10pm. About an hour later, paramedics pronounced Mr Ng dead in his home and police arrested his younger brother for murder.
It is believed that the siblings got into an argument that turned deadly.
Yesterday, Ms Er told The Straits Times that Mr Ng seemed calm when they met and was not troubled: "He was very happy, telling me that he enjoyed his work and wanted to go travelling."
She got to know him when they took the same course at Nanyang Polytechnic about seven years ago.
Mr Ng, 26, was a motion graphics artist with Marina Bay Sands (MBS). He started working there last July. An MBS spokesman said he got along well with colleagues and was a "very creative worker".
Other members of the design community said Mr Ng was passionate about his craft, and would volunteer for projects to give back to the community.
In January this year, he designed the opening titles for independent film festival "A Design Film Festival" for a token fee.
Festival co-curator Felix Ng said Mr Ng had volunteered out of interest and "to give back to the community". He added that Mr Ng had "burned the midnight oil" to finish the 25-second clip in two weeks, and was excited for it to be played in the cinema during the festival.
"He was very enthusiastic, very hungry and hard-working," said Mr Felix Ng, adding that he was shocked and saddened at Mr Ng's death. "In a few more years, he would've done really incredible things."

SINGAPORE - A 21-year-old charged with the murder of his elder brother in their Choa Chu Kang condominium now has a lawyer.
Ng Yao Wei, who allegedly killed his brother Ng Yao Cheng, 26, last month, will now be represented by lawyer Josephus Tan of Fortis Law Corporation.
Mr Tan, who said he was appointed last week after the defendant's parents approached him, will be taking on the case pro bono.
He told reporters outside the courtroom: "I know it was reported that they are staying in a condo, but apart from the house I don't think they have the financial capability.
"Our concern is for the parents to seek counselling themselves, and leave the legal proceedings to us."
Mr Tan said he had not encountered Ng before Wednesday, when the latter appeared in court via videolink.
Ng will be remanded for another three weeks for investigation and treatment.
The murder allegedly took place on April 13 around 11pm at the Windermere condominium where the brothers lived with their parents.
The accused had recently completed a diploma course at Singapore Polytechnic, while the victim was a motion graphics artist with Marina Bay Sands.
