Alleged death by rash act

The man will be charged in court on Aug. 30 for causing death by rash act under Section 304A of the Penal Code, Chapter 224.

If convicted, the man may be handed an imprisonment term of up to five years, or a fine, or both.

Attended a housewarming party

Nasiari, a delivery man by profession, was at Spottiswoode 18 condominium in Spottiswoode Park on Aug. 18 for a housewarming party with his family.

Nasiari's daughter told ST that they heard two “thuds” before realising that their father was on the ground and bleeding from the head.

They then saw an intact glass bottle nearby.

Nasiari was taken to Singapore General Hospital, but died on Aug. 19. He was buried on Aug. 20.

Police investigated condominium residents

ST reported that the police went door-to-door of the Spottiswoode 18 condominium to ask if residents had been drinking wine.

They showed residents a picture of an Italian wine bottle, and also asked if residents would be willing to provide fingerprint samples.

(Editor's note: A previous version of the story stated that Nasiari was 74 years old.)
