SEVEN men and a teenage girl were charged in court on Friday
with the murder of a man at Tiong Bahru Park on Tuesday.
Segu Jamaldeen Nafil Mohamed, 18, Muhizin Khan, 18, Mohamed
Fazuluddin Azeedali, 18, Anandraj Manimaran, 18, S. Durga, a
16-year-old female, Mansur Alikhan, 19, S. Karthikesu, 18, and
Abdul Samad Mohamed Kasim, 22, were accused of murdering Mr Goh Ho
Leong, 52, between 9.30pm and 10.52pm on Tuesday.
The alleged offence was committed with Mohamad Ayub Jailabdeen,
27, who was brought to court on Thursday to face a rioting
charge.
But his charge will be amended to murder in view of the victim's
death at about 7.50am on Thursday.
All eight were remanded at Central police division lock-up for
further investigation.
Their cases will come up again next Thursday. If convicted of
murder, each faces the mandatory death penalty.
They better get a good lawyer.
If not eight more ghosts in Changi prison.
