Yishun, Punggol cat deaths likely caused by vehicle accidents, not abuse: NParks
Authorities have debunked suggestions that a serial cat killer is on the loose in Nee Soon. Investigations by the National Parks Board conclude that, out of the two dead felines found there over the past few weeks, at least one was likely a victim of a vehicle accident. NParks said its post mortem on community cat King Kong's carcass found no evidence of penetrating or sharp force wounds, which would have been likely in a case of abuse. Rather, the cat had fractures on its pelvis and breastbone, and a slight jutting out of its right eye. Rachel Teng reports.
