A man fell to his death from 14 stories high around 2.20am on 8 June at block 15 of Marine Terrace.
25 year-old Aaron Wu allegedly brought a knife to his ex-girlfriend’s house after she had broken up with him.
According to the ex-girlfriend only known as Ms Liu, during their relationship which lasted seven months, Mr Wu had beaten her five to six times.
She broke up with him last Tuesday.
Ms Liu said that she was sleeping when Mr Wu knocked on her house door.
Her mother refused to let him into the house knowing that the couple had already broken up.
She had no choice but to call the police when Mr Wu refused to leave.
When Mr Wu heard her calling the police, he apparently shouted that he would jump off the building if he saw the police patrol car coming.
According to Ms Liu, Mr Wu told her angrily: “I dare to jump out of a car, don’t think I don’t dare to jump down! I will count to three!” In an incident that took place two weeks ago, Mr Wu jumped out of a taxi after Ms Liu threatened to break up with him.
When Mr Wu counted to two, Ms Liu’s mother told her daughter that it seemed likely he would jump.
However, before Ms Liu could react, Mr Wu already jumped to his death.
The police are classifying the case as unnatural death and are currently investigating.
