Knife dispute between neighbours in Singapore's Yishun flats leaves one dead, another wounded
The police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were alerted to the incident at Block 334B Yishun Street 31 around 5.20pm, The Straits Times reported.
When officers arrived, they found the older man injured inside his flat and the younger man lying motionless at the foot of the block.
Preliminary investigations suggest the two men, who lived in the same block, had a prior argument along the corridor.
During the dispute, the 44-year-old allegedly attacked the 53-year-old with a knife.
The younger man was later found at the foot of the block and was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.
The police have said they do not suspect foul play at this stage of the investigation.
Photos from the scene showed a blue police tent on a grass patch and a cordoned-off area, with a resident reporting that she heard a loud noise and saw the injured man from her fourth-floor flat.

Ex-Changi inmate from Singapore's maximum security prison documentary faces new charges over passport, stun guns
SINGAPORE, July 25 — Graceson Ang, a former inmate featured in a documentary on Changi Prison, was charged in court yesterday with new offences. The Singaporean, 40, — who appeared in CNA's Inside Maximum Security — faces three charges, including leaving the island republic without presenting a passport and making a false passport application, according to a report published in Singapore-based online news and lifestyle platform Asia One. The prosecutor said Singapore Customs and the Central Narcotics Bureau are still investigating and need two more weeks to complete their probe, Asia One reported quoting CNA. Ang's lawyer informed the court that he planned to meet his client the following day, on Friday (July 25). He is also accused of importing mini LED flashlight stun guns via a parcel on March 7, 2023, while under a remission order from November 2022 to June 2025. He allegedly failed to present his passport at Woodlands Checkpoint in March 2023 and later falsely claimed he had lost it when reapplying. Ang was charged last month with all three offences. The case has been adjourned to allow authorities to complete investigations. If convicted of leaving without presenting a passport, he faces up to 10 years in jail, a fine of up to S$10,000 (RM33,070), or both. Making a false passport statement carries the same maximum penalties. Importing stun guns as a first-time offender may result in up to two years' jail, a fine of up to S$100,000 or three times the goods' value, or both. Repeat offenders may face up to three years' jail, a fine of up to S$200,000 or four times the value, or both. Ang appeared in CNA's Inside Maximum Security, which aired in January 2022, highlighting his struggles with family and rehabilitation.
