"Help ! Help ! It's a gang fight !"

Shoppers at Marina Centre in Singapore heard cries coming from the field nearby.

A girl screamed, loudly and very shrilly. The fright in her voice/scream turned
Daryl's blood cold. For a split second, time seemed to be frozen as the
horror of the situation penetrated every shopper's brain. Then, all of a sudden,
everybody started running towards the field. It seemed as if everyone had gone
mad! Daryl ran along with them, eager to see part of the action.

When he reached the field, the fight was over. All he could see was a huge crowd
huddled in the middle of the field. Daryl pushed his way through the crowd and
stared. Lying on the ground was a teenager. His face was very pale and he was
covered with blood. The handle of a switch blade could be seen sticking out of his
stomach. Daryl began to feel very sick.

Suddenly, a man pushed his way through the crowd and called for a little space.
Obediently, the people moved back. Daryl was very relieved. He thought that the
ambulance had arrived. However, the man whipped out a camera and started
taking photographs of the boy, not bothered that the teenager was injured. He even
tried to interview the boy. Finally, help came, but it was too late. The paramedics
fought to save the injured teenager, but failed. Daryl looked on as the corpse was
loaded into the ambulance.
