Couple killed on rail track
By Irene Tham

TWO bodies were found near the KTM railway track in Upper Bukit Timah Road on Saturday morning.

The police received a call at 5.24am that a train had knocked down a couple at the track near Railway Mall.

The couple, believed to be a 19-year-old Chinese boy and a 20-year-old Chinese girl, were pronounced dead at 6.08am.

A Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman said that the Chinese boy's left leg was amputated and he suffered an open head wound and multiple body fractures.

The girl, also Chinese, had multiple body fractures, and her right leg was nearly severed at the knee.

Ms Shahriza Embi, a Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) spokesman, said that an empty KTM train heading to Johor Bahru knocked down the couple. 'We had no idea how they got there.'

The morning shuttle between Johor Bahru and Singapore was cancelled. Four other train services were delayed for between one and two hours.

The couple, believed to be students from Republic Polytechnic, were apparently sitting on the track when the train came.

Police investigation into the unnatural death is ongoing. Witnesses can call 1800-255 0000.

Sitting on a railway track is an invitation to death! No remorse for stupid teenagers waiting for trouble to happen!

They are teenagers so they can be quite blur

But your remark is insensitive. They are somebody's children and it is is tragic

Alamak they thought they would do an MRT jumper - that is - jump onto an MRT track like those who did before them. Or they thought it would be a good place to hang out in the middle of the night - dark and quiet!

in the old days ppl tied enemies to railway track and wait for train to come 'toot toot' to squash them to pulp ... i enjoyed those loonytoon cartoons where they tied bugs bunny to railway track (yep train not mrt) but bugs always managed to escape ...

when i read the news this morning and realised it was train track not mrt track, the 1st thought that crossed my mind was 'how refreshing !' 2nd thought - 'eek now rail mall haunted leow, when before, it was already very creepy feeling as it was near jungle & quite deserted ...

i think the couple was sitting on the stretch of the track that was above the roads; the metal barriers was a prominent feature along upper bt timah road in the old days and even now ...
