About a week ago, news of a 73-year-old delivery driver’s death due to killer litter gripped Singaporeans.
It could’ve happened to any of us, including our loved ones.
Here is a summary of what happened:
- The family was having a housewarming party in the Spottswoode 18 condominium on 18 August 2019.
- Mr Nasiari Sunee, a 73-year-old delivery driver sat down on the condominium BBQ pit area to eat with his wife and relatives.
- A loud thud is heard all of a sudden.
- Mr Nasiari Sunee lay bleeding on the ground, while his wife got bruises on her shoulder
- An Italian Wine bottle was seen on the table
- Mr Nasiari died in the hospital after his heart stopped 4 times
Police Interviewed Condo Residents
After the death, police went from door to door to look for the culprit. They showed residents a picture of an Italian Wine Bottle and asked if they had been drinking wine and were willing to give their fingerprint samples if needed.
However, some residents pointed out that the BBQ pits were too far away from the balconies of the flats.
Further, to prevent glass shattering in the rubbish chute, glass bottles are often left beside the chute as instructed by the building management – this means that anyone’s fingerprints could be on it, including the original owner.
Australian Man Arrested
Despite all of that, an Australian man, Andrew Gosling has been arrested for allegedly throwing the glass bottle down.
Not much information has been revealed, other than the fact that he will be charged soon.
So what are the charges he will face? Well, according to HDB:
Punishment For Placing Objects In A Hazardous Manner
If a person fails to remove objects that are placed dangerously, even after receiving written notice from the authorities, they can be liable to a maximum fine of $2,000.
If the object still has not been removed, they will be liable to a fine of $100 per day for as long as the offence is committed.
Punishment For Throwing Killer Litter
If a person is convicted under the Penal Code for an offence relating to the throwing of killer litter, they are liable to a maximum jail term of 5 years, or a fine, or both.
If the person is living in a rental flat, they may be required to give up the flat or terminate the tenancy.
Let’s hope that justice will be served in due course.
And our condolences to the family.
