It was a relatively peaceful Monday afternoon at Block 276 of Tampines Street 22 — until a scream pierced the air.
A 77-year-old lady was found dead in the living room of her flat on the fifth floor of the block, with the police notified at approximately 2:10pm.
Ashaari Hasan Basri had just finished praying in his own flat two units away when he heard the scream. Heading over to the flat where he heard the scream, he spotted — to his immense shock — the lifeless body of his elderly neighbour in a wheelchair.
