SINGAPORE: A pair of 11-year-old brothers were found dead near a playground at Greenridge Crescent in Upper Bukit Timah on Friday (Jan 21) evening.
The police said in response to queries from CNA that they received a call for assistance from a man at about 6.25pm on Friday.
"When police officers arrived at the scene, the man's two 11-year-old sons were found lying motionless in the vicinity of the playground and were pronounced dead at scene by a paramedic," said the police.
The police have classified the case as unnatural death. Investigations are ongoing.
Ms Sim Ann, Member of Parliament for the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, called the public to refrain from speculation while investigations are ongoing.
