Skeleton in Housing Board flat: Identity not confirmed

A check by a Housing Board officer on a flat whose tenant had fallen behind on rent, led to the discovery of a skeleton there.

A coroner's court heard on Tuesday that the police have been unable to ascertain the identity of the remains in the unit in Block 7, North Bridge Road on Feb 25 last year.

Based on the evidence, however, State Coroner Eddy Tham surmised that the remains were those of Mr Teow Lye Hock, the rent defaulter, but this could not be conclusive.

Police investigations showed that as Mr Teow had failed to pay the rent on his flat for a long time, an officer from the HDB went there to make a check in January last year

SINGAPORE - A woman was found dead near Raffles City along Stamford Road early this morning.

Police received a call for assistance at about 4am.

When officers arrived, they found a woman in her mid-twenties lying motionless on the third floor parapet near a Starbucks outlet.
