Police on July 4 escorted the man accused of murdering his 79-year-old mother back to the crime scene in Sengkang.<\/p>\n

When Lim Yuen Li arrived at Block 465 Fernvale Road at 9.30am, his arms and legs were shackled.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old was charged on June 3 with causing the death of Ms Wang How Khiew.<\/p>\n

Lim had asked the court during the hearing if he could be present at the funeral of the “deceased”, without referring to the victim as his mother.<\/p>\n

The Straits Times understands that he did not attend the funeral.<\/p>\n

Lim allegedly killed the victim inside a unit on the 11th floor, between 2am and 10.30am on June 1.<\/p>\n

He was back at the unit on July 4, dressed in a red polo shirt, black shorts and slippers, with the police setting up a cordon at the 11th-floor lift lobby.<\/p>\n

Lim spoke to the police officers outside the flat, before he stepped in for the first time since the incident.<\/p>\n

Two police officers stationed themselves along the corridor leading to the unit as forensic experts conducted their investigation.<\/p>\n

At 12.50pm, Lim left the flat and was led back into a police van. A police officer was seen carrying a plastic bag containing his personal items.<\/p>\n

Lim’s case is the second in 2025 that saw a family member charged over the killing of a close relative.<\/p>\n

On March 13, 58-year-old Abdul Rani Md Ariffin was charged with murdering his younger brother, Mr Abdul Rahman Mohamad Ariffin, 57, at about 4am on March 11 at Block 187 Boon Lay Avenue.<\/p>\n

Those convicted of murder face the death penalty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
