Catching up on news from around the area over the last few weeks…


Last week, Khemraj Singh, a member of our local community board, was found dead in his bathtub after suffering multiple stab wounds. DNAInfo have details on the incident, including a timeline of the events that led to the tragedy.

Police quickly identified 41 year old Jeffrey Wong – an ex-​con with a history including a previous stabbing – as the suspect, and quickly apprehended him, with his arraignment held on Friday.
