SINGAPORE — The Police have been asked to “spare no effort to make sure justice is served” for the Kovan murders, said Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean.
“The suspected murder case that took place at Kovan is shocking. My sympathies go out to the family of the deceased,” said DPM Teo.
“This is a very serious case and the Commissioner of Police has been updating me regularly. I have asked the Police to spare no effort to make sure that justice is served.”
On Wednesday afternoon, Mr Tan was found murdered in his home at Hillside Drive. The body of his eldest son, 42-year-old Tan Chee Heong, was found outside Kovan MRT Station along Upper Serangoon Road, after it had been dragged under a car — a silver Camry belonging to the elder Tan.
The police yesterday classified the two deaths as murders after locating the silver Camry parked neatly at a carpark at Block 1084, Eunos Avenue 7A — a few streets away from where the elder Tan’s workshop used to be before it moved to Kaki Bukit some three years ago. Investigations are ongoing.
