SINGAPORE (ANN): A Malaysian odd-job worker who killed a colleague in 1986 in a fight over $1,000 (RM3,025) evaded arrest for 30 years, and even returned to Singapore a few times over the years, the High Court was told yesterday.

In 2006, with technological advances, Arumugam Veerasamy was linked to the crime through his fingerprints left on a beer bottle.
