The incident happened on March 3, 2008.
Chua and Ong realised the house was connected by a platform to the second floor of a neighbouring unit, and decided to climb over to the next home.When Chua was alone, he heard a male voice coming from one of the rooms. Spooked, he took the items and climbed out of the window.Ong was still in the home when he saw a man exit a room.A struggle ensued. As the man tried to grab the penknife in Ong's hand, the pair stumbled into the room belonging to the man's sister.
The DPPs said:" told the accused to stop what he was doing and reminded him that people will find out about this. Her hands remained tied behind her back for the entire duration."
