The short knife with a curved blade and a finger ring at the end of the handle was never recovered as Tan, 32, threw it away before he gave himself up to the police.
After he was attacked by Tan and his friends, Mr Satheesh was seen taking a few steps before he collapsed. He added: “The accused had intended to cause this injury, and this injury led to the deceased’s death. The accused’s actions were not an accident or unintended.”At about 6.20am, his group got into a dispute with another group of patrons, who included Mr Muhammad Fairus Muhammad Ali.But Tan continued to be rowdy, and could be seen waving a karambit knife in the surveillance footage. He allegedly cut the index finger of a security officer, Mr B. Barathkrishnan, while waving the knife.
