A 41-year-old businessman was shot dead early Wednesday morning
in his flat in Serangoon.
When police arrived at about 7.10am at Block 223, Serangoon Avenue
4, they found the man lying face down and bleeding on the floor of
the study room.
Police say a man, armed with a gun, had entered the flat at about
6.55am.
The victim's wife, teenage daughter and the maid were tied up and
the house was ransacked.
A few shots were heard and the man then ran out of the flat.
A manhunt is currently ongoing for the suspect who is believed to
be a Chinese man in his late 30s to 40s.
He has been described as being plump and about 1.7 metres tall, and
was last seen wearing a black round necked T-shirt, black pants and
black shoes.
He also had a black cap and appeared to be blind in his right
eye.
Police add that he had fled the house carrying a blue denim handbag
believed to contain cash and jewellery taken from the flat.
The police have advised members of the public not to approach the
suspect as he may be dangerous. - CNA/ir
