RIP: AWOL Deserter - 13 May 2009
-
AN ARMY deserter fell from the fifth-floor kitchen window ledge while trying to evade arrest from military police.
Mr Amos Seah Song Han, 25, died the next day of multiple injuries.
He was at his home in Block 152 Woodlands Street 13 when military police came knocking at his door on May 13 last year.
His father claimed that he was not in and refused to let the military police in to check.
Mr Seah was later seen appearing at the kitchen window looking up and down by a military police corporal who was watching the unit from the opposite block.
The corporal saw Mr Seah putting his right leg out of the kitchen window and holding onto the kitchen sill. But before he could put his left leg onto the kitchen ledge, he plunged to the ground floor.
On Monday, State Coroner Victor Yeo recorded a verdict of misadventure on his death.
Poor boy!
