SINGAPORE: Two boys who jumped nine storeys to their death in August last year did it because they were convinced that they could come back to life with the ability to slay demons and save the world.
The tragic incident took place at Blk 667, Jalan Damai in the wee hours of August 23.
The Coroner's Court heard on Monday that Ku Witaya and Sia Chan Hong, who were classmates at Tampines Secondary School, had planned a suicide pact with six other friends. The eight friends were between 13 and 18 years old.
But one person reportedly backed out of the plan and five others ran away after seeing their friends fall to their death.
Ku, a medium, is said to have told his friends two months before the incident that he would come back to life with extraordinary powers.
The hearing continues.
