On Nov 10, at about 5.20pm, the victim's mother decided to check on the boy when he failed to come downstairs, only to find him lying in a pool of blood inside one of the bedrooms. She alerted her family members and together with a neighbour rushed the boy to the Duchess of Kent Hospital. It was learnt that the boy, also a foreigner, succumbed to severe injuries to the neck while warded at the hospital. The motive is believed to have been triggered by revenge.
