Body parts found near MRT station, reservoir park
THE dismembered body parts of a woman were found in two places on
Friday. A torso was found in the MacRitchie Reservoir Park hours
after the head and limbs were found stuffed into a bag dumped near
the Orchard MRT station.
The head, with long hair, was in one bag; the legs and feet in
another and the arms and hands in the third bag.
Police cordoned off the area, which was near a flower bed along the
perimeter of the park just next to the Orchard MRT station. Crowds
of onlookers gathered at the scene.
At 6.10pm, information came in that a torso had been found by a
jogger at the reservoir park. It was stuffed into a blue trolley
bag.
It is understood that the dead woman, a young Asian, was only
slightly decomposed, indicating that she was killed not more than
two days ago.
Friday's events recalled the Kallang River body parts murder - when
the dismembered body parts of Chinese national Liu Hong Mei, 22,
was found along the river bank on June 16.
The young factory worker's upper and lower torso were found not
long after. Her head and calves were found in bags in the Tuas
incinerator plant the next day.
The dead Chinese national's alleged killer is her supervisor Leong
Siew Chor, 50, who is now awaiting trial for murder.
