A NANYANG Technological University professor was stabbed by his final-year project student, who later fell off a bridge linking two buildings on the Boon Lay campus on Monday morning.
Professor Chan Kap Luk, from the NTU’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, was stabbed in the back and arms in his office on the sixth floor of Block S1 at about 10.30am.
Moments after the attack, the fourth year 21-year-old Indonesian student is believed to have slit his wrists and fallen four floors from the roof of a bridge linking the School of EEE and the Techno Plaza.
The student, identified as David Hartanto Widjaja, was pronounced dead by paramedics at about 10.45am.
Prof Chan, 45, was rushed to the nearby National University Hospital. Eyewitnesses said he was taken unconscious to the ambulance and his bloodied body was bare. He underwent an emergency operation and his injuries are said not to be life-threatening.
The horrendous attack shocked students returning to campus on Monday after a one-week mid-term break. Prof Chan, a father of two young children, is believed to be the supervisor of the student’s final year project.
Puddles of blood were seen near the entrance of Prof Chan’s office, with several pieces of blood-soaked gauze strewn on the floor.
An eye-witness, Mr Liu Yan, 24, a final-year electronic enginneering student from China, said he and his friend were studying in the Techno Plaza on the fourth level, when he happened to look out of the window and saw a student with blood oozing from his arm dashing across the bridge.
Next, he saw the student tettering on the edge of the glass rooftop of the bridge. Moments later, he was gone. The rooftop was splattered with blood, he said.
‘I immediately called the police and then, with my friend, rushed down to check. We were shocked to see the student’s body lying motionless at the foot of the block,’ said Mr Liu.
In a statement, NTU said the next-of-kin of the student and professor had been notified.
NTU President Dr Su Guaning, said: ‘The university is deeply shocked and saddened by what has happened. The matter will be investigated thoroughly. 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.’
