SINGAPORE: A man accused of murdering a 41-year-old man at a Housing Board block in Clementi has hired a team of lawyers.
Toh Chee Hong, who faces a capital charge of killing Mr Khoo Chin Wah Winson on Oct 21 at Block 311B Clementi Avenue 4, appeared briefly in court on Wednesday (Oct 30).
Lawyers Josephus Tan from Invictus Law, Cory Wong, Devlin Mohyong and Silas Siew told the court that they had been recently engaged by Toh's family to defend him.
The prosecution said investigations had been completed and asked for Toh to be remanded for psychiatric assessment, to see if he suffers from any abnormality of mind.
The defence did not object.
The case was adjourned to Nov 20 for further mention.
This development comes two days after the police took Toh back to the scene of the alleged crime on Monday morning.
The block where the alleged attack took place is part of Trivelis, a Housing Board development under the Design, Build and Sell Scheme.
Movement around the blocks is restricted by card access and lift lobbies are gated.
The police previously said that Toh and the victim know each other, according to preliminary investigations.
If convicted of murder, Toh could be sentenced to death.
