By Selina Lum
WHEN a quarrel broke out between two men drinking beer and stout at the void deck of a block of flats in Toa Payoh, the older man told the younger man to go home.
But, 36-year-old Charles Gunalingam, jobless, continued quarrelling with Ravindra Tagore R Pillai, 58, and punched him in the chest.
Ravindra retaliated by smashing a stout bottle and using the broken bottle neck to to slash Mr Charles until the younger man collapsed.
Police arrested Ravindra at the scene.
