Woodlands Block Cordoned Off as Police Investigate Fatal Incident
At least eight police vehicles were deployed to the scene, with officers cordoning off a large area around the block. A blue tent was set up at the foot of the building near the letterboxes.
A knife was discovered on a grass verge near the block, not far from where the body was found. The weapon had apparently been thrown out of a window during the incident.
Police remained at the scene for more than four hours, leaving only around midnight. An officer was seen carrying a large bag of evidence, and the body was removed by a police hearse.
A female resident heard a loud “bang” at about 7:30pm and was told by neighbours that a man appeared to have fallen from the building. Neighbours had also heard a loud quarrel in a unit upstairs before the man fell.
A fifth-floor resident said their family was having dinner when they heard a commotion upstairs, followed by the sound of a man falling from the building.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force conveyed the injured man to Woodlands Health Campus in a conscious state.
According to Shin Min Daily News, neighbours reported that a Chinese man lived with his mother in the unit. A Malay man, who was not a resident, was a frequent visitor to the flat.
The deceased and the man who was slashed were believed to be in a relationship. The mother of the 31-year-old was at home during the incident and is believed to have called for an ambulance after witnessing her son being attacked.
The pair had reportedly engaged in a fierce argument that escalated to violence. After the alleged slashing, the 33-year-old man threw the knife out of the window, ran out of the door, and fell to his death from the block.
Police investigations are ongoing.
