NLF Malaysia: The Malaysian police have notified the Singaporean police that a suspected murderer, Tan Chor Jin, who fled to Kuala Lumpur after shooting and killing Mr. Lim Hock Soon, has been arrested.
The 39-year-old suspect, who is blind in one eye, has been dubbed the ‘One-eyed dragon’. It was alleged that Tan entered Mr. Lim’s apartment at Serangpoon Avenue on February 15 at 7:00 a.m. when the maid opened the door to send the victim’s daughter to school. Tan forced the maid and the daughter back into their apartment. Tan then shot Mr. Lim. Tan was said to have taken some valuables before he left the house. The wife then called the police. By the time the paramedics arrived, Mr. Lim was already dead. Some neighbors said they saw someone walking calmly along the corridor, shortly after the shooting.
Hundreds of police officers immediately surrounded the crime scene, and the police dogs were called in to search the entire apartment, unit by unit, looking for the suspect killer without any success. Within hours, the suspect’s features and identity were established. The police suspected the killer might have fled to another country. They immediately contacted Interpol for help to nab the alleged murderer.
According to a reliable source, the suspect who is also a Triad member had business transactions with the victim for many years. It was alleged the victim had cheated Tan, and that Tan might have killed him cold-bloodedly because of this.
Tan was with his wife and three other people in a room on the 13th floor of the five-star Grand Plaza Park Royal Hotel in Kuala Lumpur when the Malaysian polive stormed into the room. All the suspects were quickly arrested without any resistance.
The Singaporean police have requested their Malaysian counterpart of Tan to be extradited to Singapore to stand trial for the murder charge. According to the spokesman, Malaysia has accepted the request and is now preparing documents for Tan’s extradition to Singapore. If the suspect is found guilty of murder, the penalty will be death or life imprisonment plus canings.
