Victim also PRC. So hiong...
Anyway what type of parents would let their kids loiter around Geylang at wee hours?
TWO 16-year-old boys were arrested after a 13-year-old boy was found dead in a back alley in Geylang early yesterday morning.
The police said they were informed at around 3.20am of a fight in the area. When they arrived, they found Chinese national Zhang Zekai lying motionless on the ground. He was pronounced dead by paramedics shortly after.
Zekai, a student at St Patrick's School, had been missing for about three weeks. His parents had filed a missing person report with the police on Aug 15.
Evening paper Shin Min Daily News reported that he was in a LAN gaming cafe when he was approached by the two older boys and accused of stealing a wallet. A quarrel broke out and the trio went outside to settle it.
Shin Min said one of the boys punched Zekai's face, causing him to fall to the ground. He was unresponsive, so the two boys called for an ambulance. A staff member from the gaming shop also called the police.
The two boys, believed to be Chinese nationals as well, were arrested at the scene in connection with the case, which has been classified as an unnatural death. Investigations are ongoing.
It is understood that this was the third time Zekai had run away from home. His parents later identified his body at the mortuary.
When The Straits Times visited his home in Bedok North yesterday, the lights were on but no one came to the door. The neighbours declined to be interviewed.
