Clementi Murder: The suspect was taken back to the crime scene where he allegedly killed a base volunteer

SINGAPORE – The suspect in the Clementi murder case was escorted back to the crime scene on 28 October.

Surrounded by five police officers, Toh Chee Hong, 50, arrived at Block 311C Clementi Avenue 4 at about 10.20am.

He was was charged with murder for the murder of Mr Winson Khoo Chin Wah, 41, on October 21 at Block 311B Clementi Avenue 4.

Wearing a red polo shirt, black shorts and slippers, Toh kept his head down as he walked past media and members of the public who had gathered outside the cordon.

Toh, whose hands and feet were restrained, was led to the empty deck and taken by elevator to a unit on level 19, which was blocked off to the media.

At around 11.15am, Toh was led by seven police officers to the empty deck next to the playground.

There, they asked him as he looked down and nodded.

He also motioned to the ground and officers placed a marker next to a drain.

He was then driven to the multi-storey car park at around 11.30am. By then, more than 50 people had gathered around the police cordon.

About 10 minutes later, Toh was escorted into an unmarked black vehicle and left the scene.

The exact weapon used in the alleged killing was not mentioned in court documents.

However, in video footage of the incident recorded by residents, the suspect appears to have stabbed the victim repeatedly with a small object at the foot of Block 311B.

The People’s Association (PA) said Mr Khoo was a grassroots volunteer.
