FRIDAY, JUL 14   SUBSCRIBE     It's not something many of us would expect to happen in the city centre in the middle of the day - a man stabbed to death by his own father-in-law, who makes no attempt to get away.  Little wonder then that the Boon Tat Street murder has gripped Singapore this past week. There has been much speculation about the whys and wherefores, which our reporters have tried to pin down in several reports on this shocking story. Meanwhile, on the foreign front, more revelations have emerged about alleged links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, while in Iraq, the retaking of Mosul after a long-drawn campaign signals the end of the so-called Islamic State, although its pernicious ideas will linger on. Please come and join us this Sunday at our annual Straits Times Run, which begins and ends at the Padang; enjoy the city sights and the carnival that follows.  Hope to see you there. Have a good weekend, and thanks for reading The Straits Times.
