A 21-year-old Chinese national was found in an NTU hostel room
with what was reported as a 'knife in her head' yesterday
afternoon. Is university life so stressful, asks STOMPer
Lily.
According to the report in Shin Min today (Apr 26), the second-year
NTU Bioengineering student was found by her hostel mate with a
'knife in her head' yesterday afternoon.
The police said:
"Police received a call on April 25 at about 1.10pm informing us
that a woman was found lying motionless at 21 Nanyang Circus.
"The body of a 21 year old woman was found at the location.
"She was taken to NUH with injuries. Police are
investigating."
STOMPer Lily, who also studies at NTU, was shocked when she read
about the case. She said:
"Was she so stressed?
"I heard that a knife and scissors were found in the room, and the
girl sustained lacerations on her wrists and scratches on her
neck.
"She's a resident at Hall 1 Block 16.
"People are talking about the 'knife in her head', which is really
scary, but I think it's just a rumour until official investigations
confirm it."
In January last year, two female NTU undergraduates committed
suicide just within two weeks of each other.
In 2009, an engineering student first stabbed his professor on
campus, and later jumped to his death.
