Alleged attacker planned to flee Singapore by boat: Prosecution

A man allegedly linked to an attack on another man at a cemetery in Choa Chu Kang had planned to leave Singapore by boat, the prosecution told a district court yesterday.

The court heard that Andre Chen Si'en, 29, was considered a "high flight risk" and he was not offered bail.

Last week, Chen and Gervan Wong Jun Heng, 24, were each charged with one count of using a weapon to cause grievous hurt to Mr Douglas Wong Wei Hao, 30, at the cemetery at around 3am on May 10.

Gervan Wong was accused of using a metal baton to attack Mr Douglas Wong while Chen allegedly used a knuckleduster.

The injured victim was found in Bishan Street 12, but court documents did not state how he ended up there. Police said they were informed about the incident at 5.40am that day.

Officers from Jurong Police Division identified the alleged assailants through ground inquiries and images from police cameras.

Prior to the attack, Gervan Wong faced 24 charges for a number of offences, including methamphetamine consumption and two other counts of assault.
