The relentless hunt for the remaining suspected killers have resulted in another 2 more being arrested. With the number now totalling 11 who may have been directly involved and responsible for the the brutal killing of Darren Ng and all facing the DEATH PENALTY if found guilty...this case has overtaken the infamous "GOLD BAR TRIPLE MURDER CASE" of December 1971.
In that unforgettable crime, 10 persons were charged with Murder of 3 gold merchants that took place in Chepstow Close, Serangoon Gardens. When the case ended all were found jointly guilty of murder whether they did or did not deliver the killing blow...as they had carefully planned the brutal killing for profit. After final appeals were heard, 7 of the killers age 18 and above were sentenced to death. They were hanged on the same day !
2 of the killers were below 18 at time of offence and were detained in prison under President's pleasure. The main prosecution witness for the state was Augustine Ang, also found guilty but in a kind of plea bargain, was not hanged.
