Body of woman found in a unit at Peony Mansion Bencoolen Street</TD></TR><TR><TD> </TD><TD class=update> </TD></TR><TR><TD> </TD><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
SINGAPORE : The body of a woman has been found in an apartment along Bencoolen Street.
She has been identified as Roselyn Pascua, a Filipino.
Police have issued an alert to taxi drivers to look out for five people they believe can help them in their investigations.
The victim's body was carried out as curious onlookers and members of the media gathered.
At around 3 am on Monday, police were informed that a woman's body was discovered inside a unit of Peony Mansion.
The woman had stab wounds on the left side of her chest.
"Upon our arrival, the deceased was spotted lying face-up with injuries near the main door of the unit. Police has classified the case as murder and investigations are currently ongoing," said Humphrey Sew, media relations officer at Singapore Police Force.
The 30-year-old victim apparently rented a unit on the 5th-floor and lived alone.
Similar units are being rented out at a daily minimum rate of around S$25.
MediaCorp asked some occupants of the building if they had witnessed anything.
"A man and a woman... they were speaking a foreign language... It seems to be normal, because we speak loudly too," said a Peony Mansion resident.
A man who works at a nearby coffeeshop said he saw the woman on several occasions.
"I last saw her yesterday evening at around 6pm," said Ching Fook Wah, a coffeeshop stall operator.
A notice on the property states that action will be taken against sex workers who used the premises as a brothel. - CNA /ls
