SINGAPORE - A man among the seven people linked to the Orchard Towers murder in July last year pleaded guilty on Monday (Dec 14) to consorting with another man illicitly carrying a foldable karambit knife at the time of the incident.

Loo Boon Chong, 27, was initially charged with the murder of Mr Satheesh Noel Gobidass, 31. His charge was later reduced to consorting with Tan Sen Yang, 28, who had the karambit knife - a curved blade resembling a claw - on his person at the time of the incident.
