According to Shin Min Daily News, the 25-year-old victim had been fatally stabbed with a knife. Police did not find the murder weapon at the scene, with the killer suspected to have fled the scene with it.

Following the incident, the police arrested six individuals.
According to Channel News Asia (CNA), a 22-year-old man, Muhammad Sajid Saleem, has been charged with the murder of Mr Dhinessh Vasie.
The other five — three men and two women, aged 20 to 24 — face charges of rioting with a deadly weapon.
Three people — Mr Dhinessh, Mr Naviinjaay C Nathan and Mr K Vicknesh — were injured as a result of the fight, reported CNA.
Lianhe Zaobao reported that the fight moved into an alley near the coffee shop and involved a beer bottle and a folding chair as weapons.
Witnesses claimed that those involved appeared intoxicated.
Paramedics arrived and took away one of the injured men from the alley, though it’s unclear which of the two unconscious Singaporeans it was.
Blood-soaked tissues were found in the alley and collected as evidence.

A resident, known only as Ms He, told Lianhe Zaobao that she heard a man repeatedly shouting for “water” in the early morning.
From her window, she saw several bystanders gathered around a man who had collapsed on the ground.
Murder carries the death penalty, while rioting with a deadly weapon carries a jail term of up to 10 years and caning. However, women cannot be caned.
Police investigations are ongoing.
