联邦道组屋周日晚发生一场惨绝人道的家庭悲剧,一名青年涉嫌杀害自己的母亲和阿嬷后,还追着一名女佣下楼,这名22岁的男嫌犯于昨日被控谋杀。 事件发生于周日(10月27日)晚上7时24分左右,在联邦道(Commonwealth Avenue)第7A座组屋其中一间单位中,死者分别是男嫌犯吴立恩的56岁母亲李素梅,以及90岁的外婆施庆庆。 警方证实他们于当天晚上7时24分接获投报,指该组屋区发生命案。抵达现场时,警方发现两名死者已经倒卧在地,医护人员也宣告两人当场死亡。 据悉,男嫌犯吴立恩怀疑是与母亲发生争执后,怒火烧尽理智,拿起刀子狂砍母亲。 当时在一旁的外婆和印尼女佣目睹一切,害怕地夺门而出,但是年迈的老妇却没有成功逃脱,被嫌犯逮住后疑遭乱拳打死。成功逃跑的印尼女佣当时紧急逃出单位跑下楼,并且传简讯向其他女佣求助,嫌犯见状也追着跑下楼。 组屋楼下发狂打伤六人 在组屋楼下当时有一个家庭正在进行法事,10余人跟随乩童从第6座组屋朝第8座组屋前进时,在走廊遇见嫌犯。 据他们指出,嫌犯身穿着背心和短裤,却没有穿鞋子,而他的右手掌有血迹。 他们表示嫌犯当时朝向巴士站走去,和他们有约10米的距离,却突然转身用英语大喊“叫政府人来跟我说话”,然后手握拳比划,且情绪激动。 乩童一伙人趋前尝试安抚嫌犯,没料到嫌犯却挥拳相向,打了一人的右眼、乩童左颧骨挨了一拳。人群见状立刻开始制止嫌犯,其中一人被打中右眼,导致眼部淤青红肿。 他们指出,嫌犯几乎整个人失控了,见人就打,而且力大无穷,他们花了好大力气才成功把他压制住,叫警方到现场将他逮捕上手铐,而经他一闹,至少六人受伤。…
