SINGAPORE - Three 17-year-old youths have admitted in court that they took part in a riot at the Singapore Boys' Home last September, an act of violence that caused damages exceeding $10,000.
A district court heard on Wednesday (Aug 21) that three men working at the home were also assaulted and one of them, a 44-year-old auxiliary police officer, was injured in one eye that most likely will be permanently damaged.
