A 41-year-old Indian resident was killed, while two others were seriously injured in a series of knife attacks here, The Straits Times reported on Tuesday.

Shanmuganathan Dillidurai from Chennai and a father of two, who has been working in the construction sector here for the past two years, was found dead with knife wounds in suburban Singapore.

Another Indian, Sandeev Singh (24), was victim of a knife-attack on Sunday, which the police said was being investigated. The third victim, a 44-year-old Indian, who suffered serious injuries from the attacks in the Kallang vicinity, has not been identified.

According to the daily, a 19-year-old Singaporean Ang Jun Heng has had his left palm and fingers re-attached surgically. Ang, a national serviceman in the Singapore Armed Forces, was the fourth victim of the knife attacks near the Kallang subway.

The cut on Ang's neck had missed his spinal cord by 0.1cm and his wallet and cell phone were missing, his mother, Ou Mui Geok said.
