SINGAPORE — A 26-year-old was charged on Tuesday (March 14) with the murder of a man, whose body was found near entertainment outlet St James Power Station early last Sunday morning.

Shawalludin Sa’adon, a Singaporean, is accused of committing the crime with three other men, who have not been identified or charged. If convicted, he faces the death penalty.

Court documents stated that Shawalludin and his alleged accomplices killed Satheesh Kumar Manogaran, 35, on March 12 between 5.45am and 6am at the nightclub along Sentosa Gateway.

The victim’s body, with stab wounds to his head and back, was found by police officers patrolling the area. There was another 28-year-old man found with head injuries.

They were taken to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), where Satheesh was pronounced dead at about 6.45am. The younger man is warded at SGH.

Preliminary investigations show that the incident had started from a dispute between Satheesh and a St James Power Station employee. Two other suspects, aged 22 and 28, will also be charged with murder on Wednesday. Investigations against the fourth suspect are ongoing.
