In a recent news report, Singapore district judge Terence Tay said that the suspect’s stay at the IMH will be extended for another seven days.
“I have allowed an application for the suspect to be remanded for another seven days at the IMH, and the case will be mentioned again on April 4,” he said.
Earlier, the 33-year-old suspect was remanded for two weeks on March 14 to facilitate his psychiatric evaluation.
