SINGAPORE: The police have launched a murder investigation after a 38-year-old man who was found injured along Punggol Field died.
In response to CNA's queries, police said on Monday (May 11) that they received a call for assistance along Punggol Field at about 11pm on Sunday.Â
The man was taken to Sengkang General Hospital where he died from his injuries.
When CNA visited the scene on Monday afternoon, the road where the incident took place was cordoned off and vehicles heading towards the area were forced to turn back.
