On July 20, 59-year-old Ng Swee Seng was accused of murdering his neighbour Thiyagarajan Karunakaran at Block 55 Lengkok Bahru. Ng was charged the following day and taken back to the crime scene on August 25. Police discovered the victim, also 59, lying motionless on the 16th floor lift lobby on the day of the incident. Ng, handcuffed and wearing a red polo T-shirt and shorts, appeared before the media in a black van during his re-arrest.
Investigators placed two placards at the scene and concluded the visit around 10.15am. Ng had previously claimed he reacted to hearing a voice, stating "If I hear sounds, I will scold people..." Security camera footage from July 21 revealed the two men arguing for about three minutes, with one allegedly threatening the other. Ng faces the death penalty if convicted of murder.
