A 60-year-old woman who was found dead at the foot of an HDB block in Sembawang on March 10 was heard arguing with a man believed to be her boyfriend shortly before her death.
The woman was suspected to have fallen from the eighth floor of Block 364A Sembawang Crescent, which houses rental units.
Responding to Stomp’s queries, police said they were alerted to the case at about 5pm. The woman was conveyed unconscious to the hospital, where she subsequently died.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed it conveyed one person to Woodlands Hospital.
When Shin Min Daily News arrived at the scene, four or five police cars were parked at the scene, and police cordoned off the walkway below the HDB block.
Officers were seen in the corridor while investigators entered and exited a corner unit.
Neighbour heard argument
Ms Zhong (transliterated), 25, who lives on the same floor, told Shin Min she had heard shouting outside her unit.
Looking through her door’s peephole, she saw a man and a woman engaged in a heated argument. Shin Min understands the man is 66 years old and in a romantic relationship with the woman.
“They are my neighbours. The two argued for a few minutes then stopped,” Ms Zhong said, confirming that the pair lived together.
“After that, I heard screaming from downstairs and thought someone had jumped.”
She later looked down from her window and saw a shoe on the ground.
Police seize table found in corridor
When police arrived and began interviewing residents, officers asked Ms Zhong whether a table in the corridor belonged to her.
