Vulcann 6th Gear September 14, 2011 Share September 14, 2011 These young men very heng, if kena under murder charge and convicted will face the gallows... From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1153065/1/.html Downtown East murder: charges reduced By Shaffiq Alkhatib | Posted: 14 September 2011 1515 hrs SINGAPORE: Four youths accused of killing a 19-year-old student at the Downtown East entertainment hub in Pasir Ris last year have had their murder charges reduced to that of rioting. They are: Chong Rui Hong and Ng Wei Lun, both 19 years old, 20-year-old Puay De Feng and 21-year-old Jason Chew Wei Beng. While those convicted of murder will be sent to the gallows, the young men can instead be jailed up to seven years and caned if they are found guilty of rioting. All four are now accused of being members of an unlawful assembly whose common object was to cause grievous hurt to Darren Ng Wei Jie on October 30, 2010. Court documents stated that one or more members of the group allegedly used violence on the Republic Polytechnic student by stabbing and slashing him with knives, choppers as well as a screwdriver. Puay and Chew will be back in court on September 28 while the case involving the other two will be mentioned again next month. Eight other youths, between 16 and 22-year-old, who are also believed to be involved in the case still face murder charges. They include 20-year-old Stilwell Ong Keat Pin and 21-year-old Ho Wui Ming. The group allegedly attacked Darren between 5.30pm and 6pm at the main foyer of Downtown East on October 30. He succumbed to his injuries and died in Changi General Hospital about five hours later. Seven of these youths will have their cases re-mentioned on November 2. An eighth alleged accomplice, 21-year-old Lewis Wee Jun Jie will be back in court on September 19. - CNA/ck ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotamp 3rd Gear September 14, 2011 Share September 14, 2011 Bro, a number of them involved, how to charge every individual for manslaughter? The fact is someone was killed by these people, maybe it is very difficult for the authorities to single out who actually delivered the blows which caused the death of the person, BUT in my personal opinion, the very act of participating by these people in cornering a person and assaulting him with deadly weapons warrants a more serious charge than just rioting.

Darryn Turbocharged September 14, 2011 Share September 14, 2011 Bro, a number of them involved, how to charge every individual for manslaughter? Look towards US law - it's called felony murder I think. If you are committing a crime, and someone is murdered you can be charged with murder, whether or not you participated directly in the killing. I think this case should be the same. Unless there is something we don't know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pchmj Clutched September 14, 2011 Share September 14, 2011 Let's see the final outcome, hang a few is enough to send a strong message. The rest must be caned a few times.
