FOUR men have been arrested over the murder of a former gang member who was gruesomely attacked on Sunday night and died of his injuries the next day. Mr Lim Eng Soon, 38, known as Black Panther in gangster circles, was set upon in Teck Whye Lane as he was walking to a coffee shop to have supper with his wife and a friend. Wooden sticks, metal poles and parangs were used in the deadly assault. Mr Lim's wife tried to stop the attack, but the men turned on her, and she sustained cuts to her arm and chest. The attack on Mr Lim lasted several minutes and at the end of it, he was left unconscious in a pool of blood. He was taken to the National University Hospital, where he died later.
