SINGAPORE – A 34-year-old maid from Myanmar has been arrested after she was accused of killing a 95-year-old woman in a landed home in Upper Serangoon.

The police said that they were alerted to a stabbing case in a residential unit in Recreation Road on Monday (July 6) at about 1.50pm.

The elderly woman was found lying motionless at the scene and later pronounced dead by a paramedic.

The police have classified the case as murder.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim and the accused knew each other.

The suspect is expected to be charged in court on Wednesday.

When The Straits Times visited the crime scene, a two-storey semi-detached house, at about 6.30pm, police officers were seen going in and out of the home with bags of evidence.

The police had also cordoned off the front of the house as well as the kitchen at the back of the unit. They left the crime scene at about 8pm.

A neighbour who declined to be named said he did not realise a murder had taken place until a family member who saw it on the news alerted him.
