<!-- story content : start --> TWO-AND-A-HALF years after a widow was found dead at her Whampoa flat, her assailant is still at large. Madam Susilah S. Kanapathy, 59, was found lying in her bedroom in the three-room flat at Block 82 Whampoa Drive which she shared with her sister-in-law on July 20, 2007. Initially, it was thought that she had died of natural causes as she was a diabetic. But later that evening when family members found jewellery missing from the cupboard, police were called again. She died of asphyxia due to strangulation. One of Madam Susilah's earrings was found lying on the floor at a corner of the wardrobe. Jewellery which she had hung on the portrait of her late husband in her bedroom was also gone. In all, more than $20,000 worth of property was missing from the flat. On Wednesday, State Coroner Kessler Soh recorded a verdict of murder by person or persons unknown after an inquiry into her death.
