IT WAS meant to be a supper outing, but it ended with a man gruesomely bludgeoned and hacked to death by gangsters, and his wife slashed as she tried to stop the attackers.
Former gang member Lim Eng Soon, known as Black Panther in gangster circles, died of his injuries on Monday afternoon, almost 12 hours after the vicious attack.
His wife, who wanted to be known only as Madam Lim, sustained cuts to her arm and chest.
The 46-year-old declined to give their occupations, but it is believed Mr Lim was a cleaner.
She said that on Sunday night, her husband, who was in his late thirties, headed out to meet a 'brother' - understood to be an old gang friend - near Block 144, Teck Whye Lane near Choa Chu Kang.
Madam Lim said his friend wanted to see him about an important matter.
