Man arrested for alleged murder after 11-year-old sons found dead at Upper Bukit TimahThe siblings were found lying motionless near a playground at Greenridge Crescent on Friday evening where they were pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic. Really sad news The father should not be charged for murder considering the incredible stress of raising 2 autistic sons, esp in Singapore where there is so little gov support. I m not here to judge him. I feel really really sorry for him. As a father, it is so difficult for him. I cannot imagine the mental stress he goes thru every day bringing up these 2 boys. We don't know the suffering he has been going thru.
