Reverend Christopher Lee has been discharged from the hospital, days after he was attacked during mass at the St Joseph’s Church in Bukit Timah.

Terengganu police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairudin said the 67-year-old victim came across a Facebook advertisement promoting a stock investment and was interested in participating in the scheme, which was allegedly based in China.
