HOURS before he fell to his death from his block of flats while his children lay dead inside their home, Mr Ng Chee Kiang was seen walking to a shop to buy 4D lottery tickets.
A neighbour in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 said she ran into him at a traffic light junction at about 9am last Saturday.
The 56-year-old housewife, who wanted to be known only as Madam Tang, was going to the same shop to buy tickets for her husband.
She said: 'He asked me in Cantonese: 'Auntie, are you going to buy 4D?' He was very cheerful and looked normal.'
But by evening, his demeanour had taken a drastic turn.
At around 9pm, the 39-year-old lay dying at the foot of Block 543.
