The Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore is working closely with local authorities to gather information and clarify the circumstances surrounding the fatal stabbing of a 31-year-old Vietnamese woman on September 24.
The embassy is also taking necessary steps to provide consular assistance and citizen protection in line with regulations.
According to the Singaporean police, the incident occurred at around 7:25 am at a residential block in Yishun. At the scene, police found a woman and two men lying injured in a sixth-floor corridor. The suspect, a 67-year-old man, allegedly used a knife to attack the Vietnamese woman and her husband.
The victim was rushed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in an unconscious state and later pronounced dead. Her husband and the suspect were also taken to hospital for treatment of their injuries. Police have arrested the suspect.
Local residents said the couple and the suspect had long been embroiled in disputes over noise, with mediation attempts by local authorities failing. In July this year, the case had been brought before the Community Disputes Resolution Tribunal for settlement.
