SINGAPORE – A man charged with the
murder of his wife
in a hotel room in South Bridge Road returned to the crime scene escorted by police officers on Dec 3.
Flanked by four officers and an interpreter, Salehuddin, an Indonesian national, was led into the Capri by Fraser China Square hotel, near Chinatown Point, at 9.15am.
A large portion of the basement carpark had been cordoned off, with several police officers at the scene.
According to charge sheets, the 41-year-old is accused of murdering his wife, Ms Nurdia Rahmah Rery, on Oct 24 in Room 703 between 3am and 5am.
She was found lying motionless in the hotel room by officers, after Salehuddin turned himself in at Bukit Merah East Neighbourhood Police Centre, admitting he had killed her.
Handcuffed and in leg restraints, Salehuddin kept his head down as he was led out of the police van, before being taken up to the crime scene through a service lift.
The media was not allowed to follow them into the hotel. He was escorted back into the police van, after two hours of questioning, at 11.15am to be taken back into remand.
Salehuddin faces the death penalty if convicted of murder.
