SINGAPORE — A teenager slashed his abusive father twice in their Yishun flat after the 47-year-old man taunted him by calling him «ah gua» (Hokkien for transvestite) and challenging him to «chop someone with a knife». When his father, Eddie Seah, left the fifth-floor flat after the initial confrontation, Sylesnar Seah Jie Kai, who was then a 19-year-old student, followed him, armed with two knives. He believed that if he did not kill his father, his father would kill him the following day, the High Court was told on Sept 30. At the lift lobby, the younger Seah repeatedly slashed his father's head and neck with the knives, and the two continued struggling at the staircase landing between the fourth and fifth floor. After his son dropped one of the knives, Eddie Seah picked it up, and approached a fourth-floor unit for help before he collapsed. The younger Seah then lay down near to his father, and waited for the police and paramedics to arrive. The father was pronounced dead at the scene. Read more
