Singapore Punggol double murder case! An elderly couple was found dead in their living room on Friday (27th) morning, after relatives discovered the incident when they visited for Chinese New Year. Police cordoned off the scene for investigation, with bloodstains evident at the site.
This incident occurred at around 6am on Friday morning, at a unit on the 10th floor of Block 408B Northshore Drive. When a reporter from Shin Min Daily News arrived at the scene, police tape had already been put up outside the unit, with several officers investigating. Forensic personnel were frequently entering and leaving, taking away several plastic bags containing evidence. The atmosphere at the scene was tense.
It is understood that the deceased were a 71-year-old Chinese man and a 66-year-old Chinese woman, both found collapsed in the living room. Paramedics confirmed both had passed away upon arrival.
The reporter observed that the unit’s door was decorated with red ribbons, lanterns, and spring couplets for the New Year, creating a very festive look.
Neighbor Mr. Liu (73, retiree), who lives on the same floor, said in an interview that he was completely unaware before the incident. He only learned about the case when reporters came to inquire, and was extremely shocked.
He said that the female deceased was cheerful and talkative, always greeting neighbors when coming and going. As for the male deceased, he was more reserved and often tended to the plants in the corridor.
Mr. Liu described the couple as generally healthy and mobile. The woman had volunteered at a Covid-19 testing station downstairs during the pandemic, and continued to work part-time afterwards. He expressed deep regret over their passing.
He also mentioned that the couple had no children, though he had heard them talk about having a godson, but had never seen him. It is understood that relatives discovered the tragedy when they visited and noticed something was wrong.
The police confirmed that they had received a report. When they arrived at the scene, they found a 71-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman collapsed inside the unit. Both were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. Preliminary investigations show that the two knew each other, and the case is currently classified as an unnatural death. Investigations are ongoing.
According to the Singapore Registry of Marriages (ROM), the couple got married in 1978. Records from the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) also indicate that the two once operated a shipping company, but the business ceased operations in 2021.
