Something breaching laws must happen before there's something investigatible for the investigators. Police just can't go around arresting people in domestic or neighbourhood disputes saying hey, I think you're going to beat up or chop up somebody else. That's in the realm of ISA and CLTPA for political and criminal gang purposes. Even that, the suspects must have backgrounds to match the criteria for arrest.
famiLEE LEEgime already made this new law for preemptive arrests to do precisely that.
That was made particularly against political activities including showing a political film.

Procedure when arrestable offence is suspected
17.—(1) If, from information received or otherwise, a police officer has reason to suspect that an arrestable offence has been committed at any place, the police officer must, or if he is unable to attend to the case, another police officer acting in his place must —
(a) go as soon as practicable to the place to investigate the facts and circumstances of the case; and
(b) try to find the offender and, if appropriate, arrest the offender and report the case to the Public Prosecutor.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) —
(a) if the police officer has reason to believe that the case is not of a serious nature, there shall be no need to go to the place to investigate the facts and circumstances of the case; or
(b) if the police officer has reason to believe that there are insufficient grounds for proceeding with the matter, he shall not do so.
(3) In each of the cases mentioned in subsection (2)(a) and (b), the police officer receiving the information shall state in his report his reason for not fully complying with subsection (1).
Above are copied from CPC 2010 (replaced the original classic CAP 168 Criminal Procedure Code CPC). Which is the one you all old timer mata were familiar. That CAP 168 CPC is entirely repealed. Your old timer mata training got OUT-DATED already.

This law is 100% surely applicable for this CORPSE CHOP-CHOP case.
