Family Tragedy Turns Into Police Investigation in Singapore
It’s hard to believe a house that used to echo with laughter can suddenly become the backdrop for a real‑world thriller. On the morning of Friday, November 4, a 31‑year‑old woman was taken into custody—murder suspect, to be precise—after her 67‑year‑old father was found dead in his flat at Block 190A Rivervale Drive.
The Alarm Bells Were Ringing Early
- At roughly 5:35 am, a call for help pinged the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force.
- Dispatchers hurried to the address, and when the officers arrived, they found the father motionless and blasted with wounds.
- Neighbors Lalitha Sivalingam and Vathembal Kandasamy reported the elderly man had suffered a stroke a decade ago and was living with his daughter after his wife died of cancer last September.
Unsettling Swirls of Suspicion
Reports rolled in from Shin Min Daily News and other outlets noting the chilling details:
- Three police cars were parked under the block, with detectives combing through a rubbish chute like a high‑stakes crime scene.
- A team was stationed outside a four‑room flat on the 15th floor, which had been cordoned off for the inevitable.
- A female resident on the 14th floor recalled hearing noises from the unit above both Thursday night and Friday morning.
- An eye‑witness saw officers searching the rubbish chute around 7 am for vital evidence.
Why the Curiosity?
With the father’s stroke history and the family’s recent tragedy (his wife’s cancer death), the police are piecing together whether this is a straightforward crime or something more personal. The disposal of evidence in a rubbish chute? Maybe it was a little “trash” crime after all.
Current Status & Closure
The authorities are treating the incident as an alleged murder with all due seriousness. The woman arrested is facing serious charges, and police are still unraveling the exact chain of events that led to the heartbreaking outcome.
For now, the community is left with a mix of shock, grief, and a sense of unease—yes, even the garbage at block 190A seems to have whispered something dark. We hope justice brings some sense of closure to this tragic family.
