4 arrested for murder
By Kimberly Spykerman
POLICE have arrested three Singaporeans and a Hong Kong national for a murder that took place early Saturday morning in Chinatown.
All four are aged between 18 and 22 years old. They were arrested at their homes a day after 18-year-old Marcus Siah Wui Xiang, one of the victims of their attack, died in hospital on Wednesday.
Marcus is believed to have suffered brain injuries due to blunt force trauma. His three friends suffered minor injuries.
The group was on their way home from Chinatown when they were set upon by a gang wielding glass bottles and metal rods. A fight broke out after the men accused Marcus and his friends of staring at them. The two groups aparently did not know each other.
Marcus' sister, Ms Melissa Siah, 21, said on Thursday that the arrest of the attackers brought some comfort to the grieving family.
'He was innocent. He only wanted to go out for supper and this had to happen to him,' she added.
Marcus, a student of digital media at ITE Bedok, was waiting for the release of his exam results. He had hoped to do well enough to pursue a higher NITEC.
Ms Siah said her younger brother was very creative and passionate about design and would spend hours tinkering with his computer, coming up with new creations. She also described him as a very 'homely' boy, who enjoyed simple hobbies like fishing.
Marcus was close to his mother, especially after his parents divorced more than five years ago. His 48-year-old mother, Madam Chai Choi Meng, a secretary, was on holiday in China with her friends and only heard the news on her return, the day after the attack.
'She really doted on him. She has not stopped crying since,' said Ms Siah.
