Bukit Panjang resident suspects fight took place before dawn

While Zach did not hear or see the fight, he suspected that it took place between 4.30am and 5am.

 

At around that time, he purportedly heard two motorcyclists chatting. One of them said they had called the police regarding an altercation.

Zach believed that they were referring to the fight involving the three arrested suspects.

He recalled seeing two men standing near a Mitsubishi at around 6am, and police later arrested them.
