A young Bank Manager was brutally murdered in his house at Lorong 33A, Ulu Sg. Merah this morning at 1.30 am. 

The victim, Stephen Wong Jing Kuok aged 31 married with a three year old son. He was slashed on his throat and other blunt injuries aimed at his head and his left arm. 

Wong was  found lying on the floor near the bed when his wife was awaken by noises in the bedroom. 

She saw someone running out of the bedroom while her husband told her to switch on the lights and called his uncle.

The wife saw her husband all bloodied and called the victim's uncle saying only help us, help us.

The uncle and his wife rushed to the scene and when the uncle went to his nephew, he was already dead.

The uncle told reporters that Wong's wife did not hear anyone coming into the room, only after her husband was lying on the floor she waken up. 

He said Wong had gone out and returned at 11 pm, took a bath and went to sleep. 

Wong's distraught wife was heard wailing in the house asking her husband why he left them as he had promised to bring them for a holiday in August.

Police who arrived at the scene found no forced entry but the back door was opened. Wong's wife was too distraught to tell if she had not lock the back door. 

Wong's parents who went there after hearing the murder stayed in the car and weep and when the dead body was carried out, his mother shouted, 

"Ah Ti, you should know who to go to take revenge,"

His young son who was being taken care by Wong's uncle refused to get into their car. He told the grand uncle that he has to stay and wait for the ambulance to come and save his father.

Police initial investigation said it was robbery but nothing can be verified stolen from the house. 

Colleagues of Wong were too shock by the death. A manager said Wong was considered one of the most promising banker. 

His promotion recently showed that he was the youngest person to take on a Managerial post at the multinational bank. 

He joined the bank three years ago in the Marketing section and was promoted due to his hard work. The manager said they had lost a valuable staff.

Police and the Dog unit are combing the area looking for evidences.
