I remembered that our supposedly two-hour-long lecture ended early today - shortly an hour after it started. Mingyun, Marianne, Cho Yee and I had McDonalds and Subway for breakfast at around 9.45am. We chatted a little and headed for the library at around 10.30am, the time the incident occured. A couple of minutes into our studying schedule, Cho Yee informed us that there was a fatal stabbing incident on campus that just happened. The police and paramedics were there too, as another friend sent a mass SMS around.
The first thing that flashed across my mind was a knife-yielding student went berserk on campus, slashing everyone in his sight and one of his victim was so seriously injured that he/she died of inflicted wounds or blood loss. When I was informed that there was only one victim and it was a professor, the hairs on my back stood - the professor died of the stabbing?
It wasn’t until later in the afternoon that the local online community was boiling over with posts about the incident - David Hartanto Widjaja, a final-year undergraduate of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, seriously wounded an information engineering professor, Prof Chan Kap Luk, by stabbing him in the back. Professor Chan defended himself with his hands (thus explaning the lacerations on his hand when he was checked by paramedics), David then fled to the sixth story (Level B1) of the S1 wing at South Spine, slit his wrist and leaped to his death. The marker on the map below shows the approximate locaiton of the scene:
