Halloween became a night of horrors for some teenagers on Saturday night at Downtown East , Pasir Ris.

A 19-year-old youth died in hospital hours later after he was repeatedly hacked by a group of teenagers in full view of a crowd. The violent attack and subsequent attempt by the youth and his friends to flee left a 500m long trail of blood at the Pasir Ris resort and amusement park.

No one has been arrested and police have classified the case as murder.

Darren Ng Wei Jie was with two friends when they got into a 'staring incident' with a group of about 10 teenagers. Witnesses whom The Straits Times spoke to said the encounter started with angry words, but this descended into a chaotic punching ground on the lawn just outside fast-food restaurant MacDonald's.

It is believed Darren's attacker produced a chopper and slashed him several times. The bleeding teenager and his friends tried to escape by running towards a row of indoor restaurants and shops called The Alley.

The dead youth is believed to have been in his third year at Republic Polytechnic and also in its water polo team. Anyone with information may call the police at 1800-255-0000.
