SINGAPORE: A 32-year-old man was charged on Wednesday (Oct 7) with murdering a 73-year-old man at a void deck in Telok Blangah two days earlier.
Gabriel Foong Shi Cheng, a Singaporean, was handed one count of murder for causing the death of Mr Tham Nam Poh at about 6pm on Monday.
He allegedly did so at the void deck of Block 57, Telok Blangah Heights.
Details of how he allegedly committed the murder were not given in this early stage of the proceedings.
Foong appeared in court via video-link from his place of remand, in cuffs and a white polo shirt.
The prosecution asked for Foong to be remanded for three weeks at Complex Medical Centre in Changi Prison, in order to undergo an evaluation at the Institute of Mental Health.
This is to assess if he was suffering from any abnormality of mind that substantially impaired his mental responsibility for any acts or omissions related to the alleged offence.
The judge granted the request.
The police earlier said they had received calls for assistance near Block 61, Telok Blangah Heights at about 6pm on Monday.
Officers found a 73-year-old man lying motionless at the ground floor. Another man, aged 53, was injured.
Both men were taken to hospital, but the older man died.
Foong subsequently called the police to surrender. He was arrested in the area and is believed to have acted alone, the police said.
They added that there was currently no evidence to suggest it was a "religiously motivated attack or an act of terror".
On Wednesday, Foong asked for a Mandarin interpreter.
He is represented by Mr Josephus Tan, Mr Cory Wong and Mr Devlin Mohyong from Invictus Law.
If convicted of murder, he can be sentenced to death.

新加坡：一名32岁男子于周三（10月7日）被控于两天前在直落布兰雅组屋底层谋杀了一名73岁男子。
新加坡人冯世成（Gabriel Foong Shi Cheng）被控一项谋杀罪，罪名是导致谭南宝先生于周一下午6点左右死亡。
据称，他是在直落布兰雅高地第 57 座组屋的底层这样做的。
在诉讼的早期阶段，并未透露他涉嫌实施谋杀的具体细节。
Foong身穿白色polo衫，戴着手铐，通过视频连线从还押地点出庭。
控方要求将冯某还押在樟宜监狱综合医疗中心三周，以便其在心理卫生学院接受评估。
这是为了评估他是否患有任何精神异常，从而严重损害了他对与所指控罪行相关的任何行为或不作为的精神责任能力。
法官批准了该请求。
警方早前表示，周一下午6点左右，他们接到求助电话，称在直落布兰雅高地第61座组屋附近有人需要帮助。
警方发现一名73岁男子一动不动地躺在一楼。另一名53岁男子受伤。
两人都被送往医院，但年长的男子不幸去世。
随后，冯某打电话报警自首。警方称，冯某在该地区被捕，据信系单独作案。
他们补充说，目前没有证据表明这是一起“出于宗教动机的袭击或恐怖行为”。
周三，Foong要求配备一名普通话翻译。
他的代理律师是 Invictus Law 律师事务所的 Josephus Tan 先生、Cory Wong 先生和 Devlin Mohyong 先生。
如果谋杀罪名成立，他可能被判处死刑。
