SINGAPORE: An open verdict was declared on Monday in the death of a middle-aged woman whose remains were found in a forested area in Upper Bukit Timah Road last March - one year after she went missing.
Mdm Tan's whereabouts remained unknown for more than a year until the night of Mar 4, 2018, when a man found her remains in a forested area off Bukit Batok Nature Park, along Upper Bukit Timah Road.AdvertisementPolice searched her home later and found several shirts matching the one on the body. A forensic pathologist found that the bones belonged to a middle-aged woman in her 40s to late 50s, certifying her cause of death as unascertained.
Further examinations found that Mdm Tan had last made phone calls in December 2016, withdrawn S$300 from her bank account on Jan 14, 2017, and written in her diary on Dec 24, 2016, with the last date struck off on her calendar being Jan 10, 2017. During the inquiry, Mdm Tan's sister said she was not close to Mdm Tan and would meet only once every two years as Mdm Tan had been given up for adoption when she was little.
The counsellor told the court that she had known Mdm Tan from 2013 and believed that Mdm Tan suffered from depression as she could not cope with her mother's death, and had previously expressed suicidal thoughts.
