The 41-year-old victim had been assaulted by a 50-year-old man and was taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, where he died, and the suspect was arrested.

They were residents of the estate.

The suspect was caught on video chasing the victim from the pickup point between blocks 311B and 311C. The pickup point is directly in front of the Trivelis Residents' Network office at the foot of Block 311B.

The victim, whom The Straits Times understands to be Mr Winson Khoo, had tripped near a drain about 20m away from the office when the suspect allegedly attacked him.

A woman, believed to be Mr Khoo's wife, screamed during the assault as he lay on the ground.
