3 murders in 5 days; Ex-cops say it's a 'rare' situation

Quote:Five days, three murders.

In the wee hours of Monday morning, Mr Gordon Yeo Han Tiong, 33, was pronounced dead, after being found with stab wounds on his upper body and face in his flat.

His 26-year-old wife was arrested.

In the following days, two more murders occurred, in Toa Payoh and Ang Mo Kio.

Two ex-cops told The New Paper that such a situation is extremely rare.

Mr Luke Lee, 62, a former police investigator who is now a lawyer, said: "I've never seen three murders in a week. In my division, we usually had murders once a month."

Former detective Dave Chan, 68, who is now an operation executive at Fuji Trading Singapore, said: "In this era, it is rare to find three murders in a week."​
