Mother and daughter found dead at Ang Mo Kio block
[UPDATE on Thursday, 5 June at 11:10am: Adding more details from police, reports]
The body of a 75-year-old woman with multiple stab wounds was found at Block 105, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 and the body of a 51-year-old female was found at the foot of the same block early Wednesday morning.
Police told Yahoo Singapore that they received a call requesting assistance at about 4:43am on Wednesday, and upon arrival paramedics pronounced both women, believed to be a mother-and-daughter pair, dead where they were each found.
Spokespersons for the force also confirmed the elder woman to be named Rosaline Lim and the younger woman's identity as Andrea Tay. They are investigating both their unnatural deaths.
According to a report by TODAY, several residents said they heard a scream in the middle of the night and one neighbour said she heard a commotion in the flat followed by a thud.
The New Paper reported that Lim and Tay had lived together for more than 10 years in the same sixth-floor flat with Tay's daughter, named Germaine.
The paper also reported that Lim was an active parishioner of the Catholic Church of Christ the King, as well as her neighbourhood christian community (NCC) -- having even hosted members of the NCC at her home for rosary services, which her granddaughter would reportedly occasionally attend.
Pictures in Shin Min Daily News showed blood stains on the outer walls of the block at the third and fourth storeys, with blood spatters also visible on metal racks used to hang laundry on those floors.
