Five men were killed when a white BMW M4 burst into flames after it crashed in Tanjong Pagar on Feb 13 last year...

They were: Mr Wilson Teo Qi Xiang, 26; Mr Elvin Tan Yong Hao, 28; Mr Eugene Yap Zheng Min, 29; and Mr Gary Wong Hong Chieh, 29.

During earlier proceedings in June involving the inquiry, a Traffic Police investigator, Senior Staff Sergeant Muhammad Firdaus Suleiman, told the court that shortly before the tragedy, Mr Long and his friends were at a Chinese New Year gathering in Ang Mo Kio where they had consumed alcoholic drinks.

Mr Yap drove it from the Tanjong Pagar restaurant towards Keppel, and made a U-turn in Enggor Street. But dashcam footage taken from a taxi in the area suggested Ms Phoo may have hit speeds of up to 181kmh, said Senior Staff Sgt Firdaus.
