Man allegedly stabs couple in Yishun neighbour dispute, woman dies

A couple were reportedly stabbed by a neighbour over a dispute at Block 323 Yishun Central.

The woman has since died of her injuries, while the man remains in hospital.

A resident who witnessed part of the scene told The Straits Times (ST) he heard "screams and a commotion" at around 7am on Sep. 24.

He went to the sixth floor to investigate, and saw a woman lying unconscious near the lift.

"She had wounds all over her body and was completely drenched in blood," said the resident, who gave his name as Koh.

A man, who appeared to be her husband, was trying to fight off their knife-wielding assailant.

Koh said he saw the man yelling for someone to help his wife, and subsequently get stabbed as well.

3 taken to hospital

In response to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed that they were alerted to the incident.

Three people were conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, a spokesperson said.

ST understands that one of the three is the woman that died.

The alleged attacker has reportedly been arrested.

In the aftermath of the incident, eight police cars were seen at the block, ST reported.

The floor near the lift lobby, as well as inside one of the lifts, was smeared with blood.

A knife, a watch, a mobile phone, a set of car keys, and a slipper were also observed abandoned at the scene.

Mothership has reached out to the police for more information.
