SINGAPORE – A 34-year-old woman has been arrested after she was accused of killing a 95-year-old woman in a landed home in Upper Serangoon.

The police said that they were alerted to a stabbing case in a residential unit in Recreation Road on Monday (July 6) at about 1.50pm.

The 95-year-old woman was found lying motionless at the scene and later pronounced dead by a paramedic.

The police have classified the case as murder.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim and the accused knew each other.

The suspect is expected to be charged in court on Wednesday.

When The Straits Times visited the crime scene, a two-storey semi-detached house, police officers were seen going in and out of the home with bags of evidence.

A neighbour who declined to be named said he did not realise a murder had taken place until a family member who saw it on the news alerted him.

The man, in his 50s, said he got a shock when he opened his door and “saw police cars swarming outside”.

Another neighbour, a man in his 30s who wanted to be known only as Daniel, said that he saw the 95-year-old woman recently when he was jogging past the house and nothing seemed amiss.

He also did not notice anything out of the ordinary on Monday.

“It’s shocking to hear that something like this has happened,” said Daniel, who works in business development.

He added that the neighbourhood tends to be quiet and that he was not aware of any major conflicts among his neighbours.
