A MAN was stabbed to death in his apartment in Bukit Batok by a killer who also went after the man's girlfriend.
The assailant stabbed her twice in the back, then taunted her to 'go look for your boyfriend'.
Upstairs, in the flat on the eighth floor of Block 504, the boyfriend, Mr Suthargar Raja Ram, 25, who was unemployed, lay dead or dying on the floor.
His girlfriend, Ms Kamarun Nisha Begum, 24, was found, alive, with stab wounds to the back, at the void deck.
She is now in hospital under protection.
The couple apparently knew the killer and police are now looking for the man who is said to be in his 20s and was last seen in a blue shirt and jeans.
It was about 1am yesterday when the police were alerted to the stabbing at Bukit Batok Street 52.
They found Mr Suthargar, in a long-sleeved white shirt and blue jeans, lying motionless on the floor in the living room.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at 1.15am.
'He had stab wounds on his back and injuries on the right side of his head,' a police spokesman said yesterday.
Ms Kamarun was still conscious when police found her bleeding at the void deck.
She was in tears as she was taken to the National University Hospital, where she is now in a stable condition.
When The Sunday Times visited the three-room flat yesterday morning, the blood-splattered corridor had been scrubbed but signs of the attack were still evident.
Mr Suthargar appears to have been attacked in the living room near the main door.
Large bloodstains could still be seen there.
Traces were also visible along the corridor just outside the flat.
Shocked neighbours said the couple were a mystery.
One of them said the pair moved in less than six months ago and tended to keep to themselves.
'They are the quiet types, although from time to time, they do have guests going up to their flat late at night,' he said in Mandarin.
Mr Suthargar's family, who also live in Bukit Batok, declined to be interviewed.
Sources said the attack could be a crime of passion. Mr Suthargar seems to have been stabbed before his girlfriend.
The killer is still at large.

POLICE are looking for a 23-year-old man to help with investigations into last Saturday's murder in Bukit Batok Street 52 that left a man dead and a woman seriously injured.
He is Mr Vijayakumar Veeriah, who was last seen wearing knee-length black trousers and a dark blue T-shirt with long sleeves.
He is of medium build and 1.8m to 1.9m tall.
At about 1am on Saturday, Mr Suthagar Rajaram Thomas, 24, was found stabbed to death in his flat on the eighth floor of Block 504 in Bukit Batok Street 52. He had stab wounds on his back and injuries on the right side of his head.
His girlfriend, Ms Kamarun Nisah Begum, 24, was stabbed twice in the back at the void deck by the same assailant.
The killer reportedly knew both victims and taunted Ms Begum to 'go look for your boyfriend'.
Mr Suthagar's parents and two brothers lived just three blocks away in Bukit Batok East Avenue 5. His funeral was held on Sunday.
Ms Begum, who was warded under police protection at the National University Hospital, was discharged yesterday.
Yesterday Kumar was telling me that his friend told him that this girl was actually two-timing the guys. I really can't believe tat someone i know actually committed a murder. Its really not worth it-murder for a woman!!! Stupid Vijay!
Anyway today i left CSC early, just couldnt stay there. Shitty place! Been updating the Sec 1 class summary for Serene (She's my boss!). Ok la here, so far so good.
Anyway i think the brown on my hair is a bit too light. I wonder what Kumar is going to say abt it. Haven't seen him since Saturday. I think i might meet him tomorrow. Its look a bit like ang-moh-if u know what i mean!
Ok, i'm gonna continue with updating. Still have abt 3 and half hours left to go..........
