NTU lecturer STABBED
It just keep getting worse. This is insane, and to think I was having lessons a mere block away! Luckily there were no guns involved...A Nanyang Technological University (NTU) spokesman had confirmed that a final year student from the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering stabbed a professor today.
At 10.25am TODAY. The professor at the engineering faculty was in his office when the student stabbed him with a knife in the back. Prof Chan Kap Luk, a Singaporean in his 40s, is said to be the supervisor of the fourth year student in a project.
After stabbing the professor, the male student - who was in his 20s - slit his wrists and jumped down a building at the engineering block.
His body was found at the bottom of the building, which was about five storeys high. He died from his injuries.
Prof Chan received medical treatment for cuts and is in stable condition. He said the matter will be investigated thoroughly. The university has mobilised its counselling professionals to help.
Dr Su said: "The university is deeply shocked and saddened by what has happened... The university community will rally together at this difficult time and do our utmost to help the student's family, the professor and his family, and those traumatised by the incident."
