A 32-year-old foreign man was attacked with a sharp weapon by several suspects, according to Johor Police Chief Ab Rahaman Arsad.<\/p>\n

One of them, a foreigner, was arrested at 12.15am on Wednesday (18 March) while attempting to pass through immigration on the way to Singapore.<\/p>\n

He has been remanded for seven days starting from Wednesday.<\/p>\n

SPF receives request for assistance from M’sian police<\/h3>\n

In response to queries from MS News<\/em>, SPF said it received a request for assistance from the Royal Malaysia Police (RMP).<\/p>\n

This was after Warrants of Arrest had been issued by a Malaysian Court for suspects believed to be involved in the murder.<\/p>\n

SPF subsequently conducted simultaneous operations across Singapore on Thursday (19 March).<\/p>\n

One of them was at a residential unit along Teban Gardens Road.<\/p>\n

Couple reportedly locked themselves in Teban Gardens flat in police standoff<\/h3>\n

This operation took place at 5am in Block 40 Teban Gardens Road, reported Shin Min Daily News.<\/p>\n

A reader had alerted the Chinese daily to a standoff with the police that led to a couple locking themselves in a flat on the 13th floor.<\/p>\n

Footage posted on Instagram showed several police officers and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel at the scene.<\/p>\n

Couple eventually surrender themselves, get arrested<\/h3>\n

60-year-old retiree Madam Liu (transliterated from Mandarin), who lives above the unit, told Shin Min that more than 10 police officers entered her home at about 8am.<\/p>\n

Five or six officers, who were carrying “large scissors”, lowered themselves from the windows of her flat using ropes.<\/p>\n

The couple inside the flat eventually opened the door at about 10am, according to Shin Min.<\/p>\n

The man and woman were taken away by the police in handcuffs at about 11am.<\/p>\n

Madam Liu said the couple are tenants there, as the previous residents were Filipinos.<\/p>\n

4 Singaporeans handed over to M’sia for JB murder probe<\/h3>\n

SPF told MS News<\/em> that three men aged between 23 and 29 and one 27-year-old woman, all Singaporeans, were arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) during its operations on Thursday.<\/p>\n

They are believed to be involved in the JB murder case.<\/p>\n

All four were handed over to the RMP on the same day to assist with their investigations, SPF said, adding:<\/p>\n

\n

The SPF has always worked closely with the RMP in cases involving cross-border fugitives. The arrest of the persons involved in this case reflects the strong and longstanding relationship between the SPF and the RMP.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Suspects face the death penalty if convicted<\/h3>\n

The Johor Police said they received and arrested the four Singaporeans at 6pm on Thursday, with SPF’s assistance.<\/p>\n

They have been remanded for seven days from Friday.<\/p>\n

Urine tests on all suspects in custody were negative for drugs. None of them had past criminal records.<\/p>\n

If convicted of murder, they could face the death penalty or a prison term of between 30 and 40 years, as well as caning.<\/p>\n
