Chitchat Hot Tempered But Very Nice Sinkie Slaughtered At Geylang! Guess Why?

SINGAPORE - The body of a man was found in a pool of blood at Geylang Lor 23 on Sunday morning (July 9).

The police said in a statement that they received a call at 8am requesting for assistance at Lorong 23 Geylang.

"Upon arrival, a 52-year-old man was found lying motionless at the said location and he was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene at about 8.11am," the police said.

According to the Shin Min Daily News, the victim is a Chinese man who used to work at 'Zi Char' stall at a coffeeshop at the corner of Geylang Lor 23.

A regular patron of the coffeeshop told Stomp that the victim still frequented his former workplace.

He described the victim as a 'very nice person', but was a little bit hot-tempered.



Another contributor to citizen journalism website Stomp said that the victim was earlier involved in a quarrel with 'an old chap'.

The contributor told Stomp that the old man left the scene, only to return with a weapon.

A taxi driver, Mr Teo, told Shin Min that he was having his breakfast at the coffeeshop when he witnessed the incident unfold.

The victim appeared weak and was still alive when Mr Teo called the ambulance.

Lianhe Wanbao reported that the victim had a deep cut on the left side of his ear to the top of his head. A wooden stick and bloodied knife were found at the crime scene.

It is unclear what caused the dispute and what happened to the other party involved.

Police are investigating the unnatural death.

No wonder, its a Sat thing, not Sunday. Date is correct.

A 52-year-old coffeeshop helper, known as Niu-ge, was found dead after a fight at Lorong 23 Geylang yesterday at 8am.

Five hours later, his bloodied corpse, which had visible injuries to the face, was lying on the road and his head was resting on the kerb.

Witnesses say the body was initially covered with a white cloth and a blue tent.

But when The New Paper on Sunday (TNPS) arrived at the scene at 10.30am, the cloth had been removed.

In the suffocating heat, the body could be seen by anyone standing behind the police cordon, which was placed about 20m away. Despite the gruesome sight, passers-by gawked. Many were snapping away with their mobile phones.

Scores of pictures were later uploaded on social media sites like Facebook.




OUTRAGE

This prolonged and open display, however, prompted outrage from Mr Niu-ge's relative, a woman in her early 20s who arrived at 12.30pm.

"Why do you leave his body in the open, to be exposed to the sun?" Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported her as calling out to no one in particular.


Mr Niu-ge's body was eventually removed at about 1.30pm.

There was a deep cut running from near his left ear to the top of his head.

The scene of the crime, next to a crowded coffee shop, was spattered with blood.

Mr Niu-ge's final moments were witnessed by a cabby, who wanted to be known only as Mr Zhang, 64.

He told TNPS: "He was wearing red, and there was so much blood that I couldn't tell if it was his clothes or the blood.

"He was also breathing very heavily. I couldn't bear to look for too long, and I wouldn't want to see it again."

An expert familiar with crime scenes, who declined to be named, said it is rare for a corpse to be left uncovered for such a long time.

He said: "But the police have to conduct their investigation, no matter what.

"It is just unfortunate that the body was found on such a busy road, (and resulted in) so many people taking photos of the body (from behind) the police cordon."

TNPS understands that Mr Niu-ge's body was not covered so that the police forensics team could conduct their investigation.

Police officers were seen taking photos of the scene and the body.

Investigators also found several weapons, including a long wooden stick and a short knife, at the scene.

A visibly shocked coffeeshop assistant at Victoria Food Court in Lorong 23 witnessed the confrontation between the two men just before Mr Niu-ge collapsed.

The middle-aged woman, who declined to be named, said the attack happened a few metres outside the coffee shop at 8am.

She told TNPS in Mandarin: "I think there were two rounds of fighting because Niu-ge already had injuries at the back of his head when he was at the coffee shop.

"I only saw the second attack from behind and the attacker ran away in the direction of Lorong 21."
