Myanmar nationals charged with conspiracy to murder in Singapore

The three allegedly attempted to abduct the victim in a car park on June 22, before his cries for help attracted attention and they fled. The victim alerted police, who raided a unit at a holiday resort in the west of the island that evening, and found a range of hardware. "A meat mincer, chainsaw, kitchen knives, gas cooker, gas cylinder tank, a tool set, trolley bags, plastic sheets, cable ties, cleaver, aprons, chopping board and rubber boots were also recovered from the chalet and seized as case exhibits," police said in a statement. The three detained suspects, Yae Wynnt Oaung, 32, Phyo Min Naing, 31, and Zaw Min Hlaing, 37, were charged in a district court for planning to murder Aye Maung Maung Thet, 28. Police say a fourth suspect, Kyaw Kyaw Aung, is believed to have left the country Tuesday night. The three detainees have been remanded in custody for a week to assist with investigations. If convicted of the offence, the punishment is a maximum of 14 years in jail with a fine.
