Police hunt gunman after businessman shot dead in SerangoonBy Rita Zahara, Channel NewsAsia
SINGAPORE : Police are sparing no efforts in their hunt for a gunman, suspected of killing 41-year-old businessman Lim Hock Soon at his Serangoon Avenue 4 flat on Wednesday.
An islandwide search is now on for the gunman who is still at large.
The suspect is a 1.7 metre tall Chinese man in his late 30s to 40s.
He was last seen wearing an all-black outfit - round-neck T-shirt, pants, shoes and cap - and appeared blind in the right eye.
The public is advised to call the police hotline at 999 if they spot anyone fitting this description.
Police also warn the public not to approach the suspect as he may be armed.
Shocked coupled with anxiety, residents of Serangoon Avenue 4 say their quiet neighbourhood of eight blocks of flats have seen one blow after another.
In the last two months, there have been two reports of snatch thefts and now the murder of a fellow neighbour.
"As a neighbour we just talk, simple word, nothing much, we don't know much about inside." "In the morning, I heard five, six, or seven loud bangs. I did not know they were gunshots until the police arrived later."
"Early in the morning, I heard a loud bang like gunshots, I thought it was nothing, just someone quarrelling, it was just a while so I continued sleeping - that's all."
After nearly 10 hours, curious onlookers finally saw Police emerging with sealed bags and suitcases - believed to be evidence. There was also a large item that looked like a chair wrapped in paper.
Police left the scene at 6.30pm - some 12 hours after the alleged murder took place. Police say Lim's body was found in the study room with gunshot wounds to his head and limbs.
Six empty cartridges were also recovered.
Lim's wife, daughter and maid who were also in the flat were tied up but unharmed. Police believe the suspect knew Lim and the case looks like a deliberate attack.
They say the house was ransacked and the gunman fled with a blue denim handbag believed to contain cash and jewellery.
Neighbours described the family as quiet and reserved and they often kept to themselves.
Some say the family of the victim is well-off. The victim is believed to own two cars and more than one property other than the flat in Serangoon.
Lim has been staying at the flat for the past 20 years and his mother lives just a few units away on the same floor.
He is also a partner of the Las Vegas nightclub at Havelock Road.
Lim's daughter is believed to be a Secondary 1 student at a nearby school in the estate.
Police are providing the necessary assistance to the family members.
