Man stabbed at Selegie Rd

<!-- by line --> <!-- end by line --> IN THE wake of a spate of slashings at Kallang over the weekend, another man was fatally stabbed yesterday evening at PoMo, along Selegie Road.
Mr Sitoh Woon Chee, 59, was leaving for home after work at about 6.45pm when he was knifed to death. He was a part-time employee of Singapore Pools, whose job was to announce lottery results. Mr Sitoh's wife, visibly distraught and helped by a group of people, arrived at the scene at about 9pm.

She was later taken into the Pools office, accompanied by a group of relatives. A company spokesman said the police were notified shortly after the incident. The Straits Times understands that the attacker had tried to escape but was eventually caught by the police. Police are still investigating the case. It is also not clear if the incident is related to the slashings at Kallang, which left one dead and three injured.

<!-- story content : start --> KNOWING that a man had just stabbed their colleague and could be armed did not stop two Singapore Pools employees from going after him. The two men, security assistant Muhammad Rudino Mohamed, 38, and his colleague, Mr Roswira Abdul Rani, 39, a technician, trailed him for 20 minutes - all the while on the phone with the cops to keep them updated on his whereabouts. They eventually led police to the man who stabbed their colleague outside PoMo mall on Selegie Road on Monday evening.

Mr Sitoh Woon Chee, 59, a part-time lottery results announcer succumbed to his injuries and died at the scene. Mr Rudino and Mr Roswira were earlier taking a break outside the mall when they heard a commotion between two men. One fell 'awkwardly' to the ground after a short scuffle while the other walked away. Only when they approached the victim did they realise that it was Mr Sitoh, whom they had known for about five years.

SINGAPORE : A disheveled-looking man was charged in the Subordinate Court Wednesday morning for the murder of a part-time Toto lottery draw results announcer on last Monday.

53-year-old Fang Gao San was said to have murdered Mr Sito Woon Chee, 59, at around 6.41pm in front of PoMo Mall along Selegie Road.

Mr Sito was fatally stabbed 15 minutes after he announced Monday's draw results.

Fang who allegedly fled the scene on foot, was then caught by police officers with the help of two members of the public.

Fang and Mr Woon were reportedly not known to each other.

During the short mention this morning, Fang, who has long hair, appeared hard on hearing as he asked the court interpreter twice to speak loudly.

He has been remanded for further psychiatric evaluation and will next appear in court on June 23.

If convicted, Fang faces the death penalty. - CNA/jy

THEY thought he had fainted until they saw blood trickling from his back and staining his shirt. And it was only after the police arrived at PoMo mall in Selegie Road that the workers there realised part-time Toto announcer Sitoh Woon Chee had been fatally stabbed. How he was stabbed and why there was no commotion remains a mystery. The 59-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at 7.15pm.

Said a waiter from a nearby coffee shop, who gave his name only as Mr Johar, 39: "We didn't hear a single sound or scream. It's puzzling because our shop is less than 20m from the entrance. "Just before 7pm, I realised that the man lying face-down had blood staining the back of his white shirt. It looked as though he had been stabbed. "There were some security guards there but I think nobody dared to move the man."

Equally shocked was Kenneth Tan, 17, who had just finished a mixed martial arts session in a studio a floor above the murder scene. From his vantage point, Kenneth said it was possible to see the crowds who had came to watch. He said: "I was just relaxing when another student said a man had been stabbed downstairs. "The six of us went down with an instructor but there was nothing much we could do.

"Somebody had said that the police had already been notified." Witnesses said that police arrived just before 7pm and covered the body with a blue tent. They also cordoned off the surrounding area. Mr Sitoh was part of the draw team at the Singapore Pools outlet at PoMo mall. It was believed that he had been the announcer during yesterday's Toto draw at 6.30pm. A Singapore Pools spokesman said that, Mr Sitoh was fatally wounded as he left work at about 6.45pmyesterday.

Due to the rain, the crowd that had come to witness the draw was "smaller than usual" said the spokesman. The spokesman added that Mr Sitoh's family had been informed of the incident. Family members arrived at around 8.30pm. Some were in tears and had to be comforted by other family members and friends as the group slowly walked towards the Singapore Pools outlet. They were also accompanied by Singapore Pools staff members.

One of the family friends, who did not want to give his name, said: "I just got to know about this shocking piece of news. It's terrible for the family." The same man was then seen walking in and out of the Singapore Pools outlet, making calls on his mobile phone. Meanwhile, a large crowd had gathered nearby to watch the proceedings. When some passers-by, like a man who only gave his name as Mr Koh, learnt that the dead man was a Toto announcer, speculation started to make its rounds.

Said Mr Koh, 45, who was in the area to collect documents from his company office: "Maybe some punter lost a lot of money and was unhappy at not hearing his chosen numbers being announced. "So it was just the dead man's luck that the punter went for him. Who knows?" Police arrested a 53-year-old suspect at Bugis Village with the assistance of two members of the public. Two knives were recovered from the suspect.
