Search on for man who stole from dying victim

The police are searching for the man who was spotted stealing money from a dying victim of the horror Ferrari crash that killed three people in Singapore. Eye-witnesses said that they saw a man who looked to be in his 30s picking up notes and coins scattered around the mangled taxi while the Japanese victim lay helplessly in the vehicle. 57-year-old Lim, a cleaner from Malaysia, told Lianhe Wanbao that the woman, who was later identified as Shigemi Ito, was crying out in pain while the man pocketed the money and ran off. The suspect is believed to have been dressed in a T-shirt and shorts. Reports said the man pocketed about S$300 (RM720) in all. Lim was not able to react in time to stop the man, the report said. Footage from the Land Transport Authority's surveillance cameras has been viewed and seized for the investigation, The Straits Times reported. Ito was later brought to the Singapore General Hospital where she died. Ma Chi, 31, who was driving the Ferrari, died at the scene while the taxi driver Cheng Teck Hock, 52, also died later at the hospital. The horrific accident also injured Ma's female passenger and a motorcyclist. The police are calling for other eye-witnesses to the accident to come forward to assist in the investigations.
