A bouquet of flowers has been left at the gate of River Valley High in Boon Lay after a 13-year-old boy was allegedly killed by a fellow 16-year-old student on July 19, 2021.

A picture of the flowers on the ground as a tribute to the deceased student was put up on Instagram.

A man in black riding a bicycle was seen outside the school a few hours after news of the student's death was reported.

He left shortly after laying the flowers at the gate of the school.
