The Circuit Breaker measures might have saved countless lives, but it could have indirectly caused the death of a man.
On Sunday, four violent incidents occurred, and one of them involved a fatality: a man was killed while jogging along Punggol Field.
It sparked a manhunt from the police, and as of now, it’s unknown whether the perpetrator (or perpetrators) has been founded.
Today, it’s reported that the victim is a 38-year-old man, and he had gone out of his house because he felt “cooped up at home.”
