Renovation worker convicted of murder over altercation in Amoy Gardens

A male renovation worker has been convicted of murder over an altercation in 2023, which led to the death of another man.

The man was slapped with a life imprisonment in the High Court this morning.

The incident occurred on September 19, 2023.

A 48-year-old bus driver complained how the 52-year-old renovation worker was holding cigarettes while waiting for the elevator at Amoy Gardens which then culminated in a fight.

The defendant repeatedly kicked the bus driver's head.

The victim vomited and lost consciousness after returning home, and died 12 days after being taken to the hospital.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to murder.

After more than four hours of deliberation, the four female and three male jurors unanimously found the defendant guilty of murder.
